The Joint Service of Angiology, Vascular and Endovascular Surgery of Sant Pau – Dos de Maig has published an original article in the European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery describing the application of software originally developed in the fields of engineering and architecture for the calculation of strength of materials. This software is based on finite element analysis.
The application of this technology in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms could help in assessing the risk of rupture and open a new avenue in deciding which patients and when they should have surgery.
This study is a joint work of the Joint Service of Angiology, Vascular and Endovascular Surgery of Sant Pau – Dos de Maig, IIB Sant Pau, UAB and CIBER of cardiovascular diseases.
