Abstract

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common fatal aortic disease.The rupture of AAA is the procession affected by multiple factors.Besides physiological,pathological and biochemical changes,morphological and biomechanical alteration can also influence this procession.The progress of rupture risk evaluation through morphological and biomechanical characteristics of AAA were reviewed in this article.
