Key result
Peak stress in the aortic wall, calculated via a novel automated algorithm, appears to be a better predictor of abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture than traditional aneurysm diameter.

May refine AAA rupture risk assessment but should not change practice; leaves open prospective validation of automated peak stress.
Does peak wall stress calculated by an automated algorithm better predict abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture risk compared to aneurysm diameter?
An automated algorithm for calculating peak wall stress in AAA models may provide a better clinical prognosticator for rupture risk than traditional diameter measurements.
Raghavan et al. (2005) studied Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Automated algorithm for peak stress calculation vs. Aneurysm diameter was evaluated on Prediction of AAA rupture. Peak stress in the aortic wall, calculated via a novel automated algorithm, appears to be a better predictor of abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture than traditional aneurysm diameter.
