Comparison of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Sac and Neck Wall Motion with 4D Ultrasound Imaging

Abstract: WHAT THIS PAPER ADDSAfter developing the wall motion indices (WMIs), based on statistical analysis of 4D ultrasound strain imaging, previous studies have demonstrated the kinematic differences of aortic wall deformation according to age and cardiovascular pathology. In the current study, the pathological wall motion in the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is described for the first time. The specific kinematic properties of aneurysm neck and degenerated aneurysm bulge are characterised using WMIs and the region… Show more

“…In recent years, different studies highlighted the inadequacy of the diameter criterion by pointing out the high level of heterogeneity in the aneurysmal tissue and its impact on the risk of rupture of individual aortas [1][2][3][4][5]. Aneurysm initiation and progression are multifactorial processes linked to the tissue's heterogeneous remodeling and structural degradation in response to the local environment, including both mechanical (altered hemodynamics) and biological factors (inflammation, presence of intraluminal thrombus) [6][7][8].…”

“…The use of 4D‐US provides information about the geometry of the aorta and local deformation of the aortic wall during the heart cycle. Such specific data about diastolic reference geometry and deformation enable biomechanical analyses with the characterization of the deformation pattern, determination of the patient‐individual material properties, 8 and description of the functional and morphological heterogeneity of the aortic wall in the healthy and aneurysmal aorta 6,9 …”

“…Furthermore, analysis in the study by Derwich et al 1 was mainly based on AAAs with a diameter ranging from 3.0 to 5.5 cm and the absence of a significant correlation between WMI and AAA size is likely to reflect a type II statistical error. However, the management of fusiform degenerative aneurysms 4.0e5.5 cm in diameter has been effectively determined by four randomised controlled trials (including two larger trials of early open elective surgery vs. surveillance, UKSAT and ADAM, and two smaller trials of endovascular repair vs. surveillance, CAESAR and PIVOTAL).…”

“…However, the mechanism of rupture is a complex combination of physiological, biomechanical, histopathological, and genetic factors. In that sense, although the study by Derwich et al 1 was able to detect different biomechanical properties of AAA regions on a population based level, the absence of patient level data makes difficult the automatic extrapolation of the study findings to individual subject.…”
