In this study, a fluid-structure interaction analysis based on the application of patient-specific mechanical parameters of the aneurismal walls was carried out to predict the rupture side during an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Realistic geometry of the aneurysm was reconstructed from CT data acquired from the patient, and patient-specific flow conditions were applied as boundary conditions. A newly developed non-invasive methodology for determining the mechanical parameters of the patient-specific aortic wall was employed to simulate realistic aortic wall behaviors. Analysis of the results included time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS), oscillatory shear index (OSI), and von Mises stress (VMS). Results of the TAWSS, OSI, and VMS were compared to identify the most probable region of the AAA's rupture. High OSI, which identified the region of wall degradation, coincided with the location of maximum VMS, meaning that the anterior part of the aneurismal wall was a potential region of rupture.

Background: Onset of inflammation associated with increased extracellular matrix degradation of vascular walls in the neuronal area is the pathophysiology of cerebral aneurysms. It has been documented well that β-sitosterol has protective effects on various brain-related diseases independent of their lipid-lowering effects; the current work was framed to examine the effect of β-sitosterol on CA progression.
Materials And Methods: To study whether β-sitosterol has a suppressive effect on the growth of CA, β-sitosterol administration started prior to aneurysm induction.

As it grows in size, an intracranial aneurysm (IA) is prone to rupture. In this study, we compared two extreme groups of IAs, ruptured IAs (RIAs) smaller than 10 mm and un-ruptured IAs (UIAs) larger than 10 mm, to investigate the genes involved in the facilitation and prevention of IA rupture. The aneurismal walls of 6 smaller saccular RIAs (size smaller than 10 mm), 6 larger saccular UIAs (size larger than 10 mm) and 12 paired control arteries were obtained during surgery.

Objective: To observe image features of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) extending into left ventricle by echocardiography.
Methods: Echocardiographic features of 5 cases of SVA extending into left ventricle and underwent surgery at Union Hospital from July 1995 to September 2015 were reviewed retrospectively and image and surgical findings were compared. A total of 4 patients were diagnosed by conventional and 3D echocardiography before surgery, and 1 patient was diagnosed by conventional echocardiography.

Haemorrhagic-aneurismal bone cysts (HABCs) are quite rare, benign, non-neoplastic, expansive, and vascular locally destructive lesions. They are generally considered sequelae of an earlier trauma causing an overflow of blood into the bone. HABCs are classified as pseudocysts and they should be differentiated from true cysts because their treatment is different.
