Abstract:
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common aortic disease causing death. Many factors are associated with AAA rupture, such as aneurysm diameter, shape, intraluminal thrombus, and hemodynamic changes. It has been shown that hemodynamic changes may be one of the main risk factors for AAA rupture. There are several imaging modalities to evaluate AAA, in which Doppler ultrasound and magnetic resonance blood flow imaging are capable of assessing the hemodynamic changes in AAA. This review will discuss the risk factors for rupture and imaging advancement of AAA.
