Fluid-structure interaction analysis for abdominal aortic aneurysms: the role of multi-layered tissue architecture and intraluminal thrombus by Xinhai Yue, Jiayi Huang, Ju Liu

“…The ILT substantially reduces overall stress levels in the covered tissue, although its impact on the location of peak stress varies across different scenarios. Media degradation increases the stress in the intima and adventitia, but the cushioning effect of ILT largely mitigates this impact.DiscussionThe results underscore the importance of incorporating the multi-layered tissue architecture and ILT in patient-specific analyses of AAA. …”
