"A novel strategy to translate the biomechanical rupture risk of abdominal aortic aneurysms to their equivalent diameter risk: Method and retrospective validation", Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg, 47, pg. 288–295, 2014

 

ABSTRACT

This webinar illustrates basis, method and clinical value of the biomechanical rupture risk assessment (BMRRA) for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The webinar’s first part closely follows the recent publication "A novel strategy to translate the biomechanical rupture risk of abdominal aortic aneurysms to their equivalent diameter risk: Method and retrospective validation", European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 47, pg. 288–295, which then is complemented by a A4clinics live case demonstration that shows how easy the BMRRA can be integrated in the clinical decision making process.

 

Structure

  • Biomechanical rupture risk assessment (BMRRA) foundation, method and results (3min)
  • BMRRA results interpretation and clinical value (3min)
  • BMRRA validation so far (3min)
  • Audience questions (5min)
  • Data management of the VASCOPS diagnosis service (1 min)
  • Life case demonstration and reporting with A4clinics rupture risk software (10min)
  • Audience questions (5min)

 

Key Learning Objectives

  • Achieve a theoretical understanding of the BMRRA
  • Get used to BMRRA input and output data
  • Analyze and explain derived BMRRA results
  • Understand how biomechanical risk indices can be translated to the diameter risk
  • Get used to DICOM data upload for the VASCOPS diagnosis service
  • Achieve a practical understanding in applying A4clinics rupture risk software
