Ultrasound Strain Patterns are Associated with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Growth

Surveillance of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) traditionally relies on diameter measurements, yet up to 10% of ruptures occur below repair thresholds. The relationship between localised wall strain and future AAA growth remains unexplored. This study aimed to examine localised AAA wall strain patterns and their association with aneurysm growth.
