Key result
Non-invasive clinical measurements using the DPC method detected a characteristic two-phase peak wave form in 86% (24 of 28) of cases with abdominal aneurysms, reflecting unstable dynamic behavior of the blood vessel wall.
Why the study?
Does the DPC method using chaos theory analysis identify and quantify the unstable behavior of the blood vessel wall in patients with abdominal aneurysms?
Does the DPC method using chaos theory analysis identify and quantify the unstable behavior of the blood vessel wall in patients with abdominal aneurysms?
The DPC method combined with chaos theory analysis can noninvasively detect and quantify the unstable dynamic behavior of blood vessel walls associated with abdominal aneurysms.
May enable noninvasive chaos analysis of aneurysm wall instability; leaves open clinical utility for rupture risk assessment.
Previously, one of the authors developed a noninvasive measurement method of acceleration and deceleration during the expansion process of the blood vessel wall under pulsatile pressure flow by measuring the strain rate of the blood vessel wall using a supersonic Doppler effect sensor aided by computer analysis (DPC method). In this paper, on the basis of the analysis of chaos theory, that is, the complexity of science, the unstable behavior of the blood vessel wall with an aneurysm was investigated by identifying the characteristic DPC wave forms induced by the onset and progression of aneurysm. These results showed that unstable dynamic behavior of the blood vessel wall occurs due to the progression of the aneurysm. Furthermore, using the theoretical analysis of chaos, this unstable behavior of the blood vessel wall was quantified and the fundamental principle of a noninvasive diagnostic method of the progressive degree of aneurysm was proposed.

Yokobori et al. (2006) conducted a review in Abdominal aortic aneurysm (n=28). DPC method (supersonic Doppler effect sensor) vs. Atherosclerosis without aneurysm was evaluated on Appearance of a two-phase peak wave form. Non-invasive clinical measurements using the DPC method detected a characteristic two-phase peak wave form in 86% (24 of 28) of cases with abdominal aneurysms, reflecting unstable dynamic behavior of the blood vessel wall.
