Abstract

The abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are 29–37.8% among arterial aneurysms of all localizations. In 95% of patients with aneurysms are located in infrarenal portion of the abdominal aorta. Complications of AAA include thrombosis of aneurysm, peripheral embolization, formation of internal fistulas and rupture of aneurysm. According to various authors, in this group of patients, rupture of aortic aneurysm is one of the main causes of death with mortality of 70–95%. The decision for emergency surgery or the possibility of waiting management tactics are based on such predictors of rupture of aortic aneurysm as the transverse diameter and growth rate, which is insufficient to determine the patient's treatment plan in the future. The article presents an overview of the information available in the national and foreign literature on the role of biological, geometric and biomechanical parameters as predictor of abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture. These factors make it possible to determine the general condition of the aneurysm and to quantify its evolution.
