At present, the diameter of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is considered to be the primary indicator of rupture risk. Surgical treatment is usually not considered before the diameter exceeds 5 cm, but rupture does occur for diameters less than 5 cm. We investigate if better rupture risk indicators can be obtained by patient-specific hemodynamic modeling. This paper discusses the steps involved in this modeling and describes our initial results for each of the steps
