Abstract
⺠We studied whether ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms are weaker than unruptured ones. ⺠Multiple specimens were obtained from each of 13 aneurysms harvested at necropsy. ⺠Specimen caliber was assessed by mechanical testing, histology and histochemistry. ⺠Ruptured aneurysms were not globally weaker than unruptured ones.
