Flow stagnation volume and abdominal aortic aneurysm growth: Insights from patient-specific computational flow dynamics of Lagrangian-coherent structures

This study reveals that transient transport topology can be quantified in patient-specific AAA during disease progression by CTA, in parallel with lumen morphology. It is anticipated that analysis of the main AAA stagnation zones by patient-specific CFD on a yearly basis could help to predict AAA growth and rupture.
