The AAA is a complex multifactorial disease whose monitoring and indication for surgery is currently mostly based on the maximum diameter. In this doctoral thesis, morphological and biomechanical analyzes were performed on a large cohort of AAA patients over 15 years, as well as corresponding changes in biomechanics during growth. An increase in AAA complexity could not be observed, however, a possible superiority of the rupture indices compared to the maximum diameter. Two new methods were established that allow the integration of local biomechanical and histological data and provide new information on growth mechanisms.
