May heighten biomechanical concerns for asymmetric AAAs; leaves open clinical translation pending human validation.
Computational modeling demonstrates that asymmetry in abdominal aortic aneurysms increases maximum wall shear stress at peak flow and induces secondary flows in late diastole.
Finol et al. (2003) studied this question.
