1 Compliance of abdominal aortic aneurysms evaluated by tissue Doppler imaging: Correlation with aneurysm size  Anne Long, MD, Laurence Rouet, PhD, Alvine Bissery, PhD, Patrick Rossignol, MD, Dikran Mouradian, MD, Marc Sapoval, MD, PhD  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 42, Issue 1, Pages (July 2005) DOI: /j.jvs Copyright © 2005 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Wall motion of an aortic abdominal aneurysm with walls (thick lines) and wall displacements (thin lines) at maximum expansion (A) and end of diastole (B). Because the amplitudes of the displacements are small compared with the image scale, their representation in the image as thin lines is multiplied by a magnifying factor.

3 Fig 2 Relationship between maximum AP diameter and Ep and stiffness. Outlying AAA ≥ 45 mm with higher Ep and stiffness values largely outside the IQR values reported in Table III have been circled. (A) Relationship between Ep and maximum AP diameter. The values are not log transformed. (B) Relationship between stiffness and maximum AP diameter. The values are not log transformed.

4 Fig 3 Box-and-whisker plots. The box indicates the lower (25th) and upper (75th) percentiles, and the central line is the median. The whiskers indicate the extreme values. (A) Ep values in groups 1 and 2. Box-and-whisker plots: (left) including all the aneurysms and (right) after retrieval of two outlying points. The values are not log transformed. (B) Stiffness values in groups 1 and 2. Box-and-whisker plots: (left) including all the aneurysms and (right) after retrieval of two outlying points. The values are not log transformed.
