The Obsolete Maximum Diameter Criterion, the Evident Role of Biomechanical (Pressure) Indices, the New Role of Hemodynamic (Flow) Indices, and the Multi-Modal Approach to the Rupture Risk Assessment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Although the therapeutic management of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is currently based on the maximum diameter criterion, this has often proved inaccurate and misleading. Conversely, the biomechanical approach, which takes into account the pressure-induced wall stress exerted at every point thr...
