A member asked:
If u have 14mm abdominal aorta the wall tension must be higher than if i had 25mm aorta? because the wall thickness r not as great?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reverse: " tension will directly proportion to the diameter " ( physics La Place Law ) So bigger the aneurysm greater the chances of rupture .
