Abstract
Biomechanical issues of practical relevance to the physician in the clinical management of patients undergoing endovascular repair (EVR) of their abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is discussed. Following a brief description of key terms in vascular biomechanics, background on the current state of knowledge in the biomechanics of AAA pathogenesis and rupture is provided. This is followed by a discussion of key issues of biomechanical relevance in EVR such as the mechanics of endotension, the notion of intraaneurysmal sac pressure and potential pitfalls of techniques used to measure them, mechanics of graft fracture/kinking, and graft migration. The discussions are intended to provide an overview of this field to physicians.
