Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To retrospectively verify whether the high-risk regions (e.g., peak wall stress sites) estimated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA) of pre-rupture CT images spatially correspond to the actual rupture site in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Spatial concordance rate between the high-risk region (peak wall stress site) predicted by CFD/FEA analysis of pre-rupture CT and the actual rupture site identified on CT at the time of rupture and/or operative findings. Assessment: analysis results based on the pre-rupture CT are compared with imaging and operative findings obtained at the time of rupture.

Key secondary outcomes

1) Distance (mm) between the predicted site and the actual rupture site; 2) peak wall stress and peak wall stress/wall strength ratio (rupture potential index); 3) hemodynamic indices such as time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS) and oscillatory shear index (OSI); 4) association with maximum aneurysm diameter and morphology (intraluminal thrombus volume, eccentricity, tortuosity); 5) interval from pre-rupture CT to rupture; 6) inter- and intra-observer reproducibility of the analyses and of rupture site determination. All items are assessed in all retrospectively collected cases.

Key inclusion criteria

1) Patients diagnosed with rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm).
2) Patients in whom CT including the abdomen was performed before the rupture, with available DICOM data of sufficient quality (e.g., slice thickness 2 mm or less) for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA).
3) Patients in whom the actual rupture site can be identified on CT obtained at the time of rupture and/or by operative findings.
4) Patients aged 20 years or older at diagnosis.

Key exclusion criteria

1) Patients without pre-rupture CT, or those whose image quality is inadequate for analysis.
2) Patients with aneurysms other than true abdominal aortic aneurysm, such as infectious or inflammatory aneurysm, traumatic aortic injury, aneurysm associated with aortic dissection, or anastomotic pseudoaneurysm.
3) Patients in whom the rupture site cannot be identified from imaging or operative findings.
4) Patients who had undergone repair of the abdominal aortic aneurysm (endovascular aneurysm repair or open graft replacement) before the rupture.
5) Patients (or their legal representatives) who declined the use of their clinical and imaging data for this study.
