Giant descending aortic pseudo-aneurysm in an adult man with uncorrected aortic coarctation

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2021
Background Aortic coarctation (CoAo) accounts for 6 to 8% of all congenital heart diseases and occurs two to five times more often in males. The uncorrected aortic coarctation is complicated by hypertension, ascending and descending aortic aneurysms ...

Mathematical modeling of shear-activated targeted nanoparticle drug delivery for the treatment of aortic diseases [PDF]

Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology (2021), 2021
The human aorta is a high-risk area for vascular diseases, which are commonly restored by thoracic endovascular aortic repair. In this paper, we report a promising shear-activated targeted nanoparticle drug delivery strategy to assist in the treatment of coarctation of the aorta and aortic aneurysm.

Hemodynamic effects of stent-graft introducer sheath during thoracic endovascular aortic repair [PDF]

Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology (2022), 2021
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has become the standard treatment of a variety of aortic pathologies. The objective of this study is to evaluate the hemodynamic effects of stent-graft introducer sheath during TEVAR. Three idealized representative diseased aortas of aortic aneurysm, coarctation of the aorta, and aortic dissection were ...

In silico modeling for personalized stenting in aortic coarctation [PDF]

Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 2022, 16: 2056-2073, 2022
Stent intervention is a recommended therapy to reduce the pressure gradient and restore blood flow for patients with coarctation of the aorta (CoA). In this work, we developed a framework for personalized stent intervention in CoA using in silico modeling, combining computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and image-based prediction of the geometry of the ...

Stent implantation in severe aortic coarctation in a pediatric patient with Turner syndrome: Case report and literature review

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
BackgroundTurner syndrome is a rare systemic disease and a significant proportion of these patients experience aortic coarctation. Selection of optimal therapy for aortic coarctation in patients with Turner syndrome is difficult due to the pathologic ...

Multi-task learning for joint weakly-supervised segmentation and aortic arch anomaly classification in fetal cardiac MRI [PDF]

Machine.Learning.for.Biomedical.Imaging. 2 (2023), 2023
Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is a group of cardiac malformations present already during fetal life, representing the prevailing category of birth defects globally. Our aim in this study is to aid 3D fetal vessel topology visualisation in aortic arch anomalies, a group which encompasses a range of conditions with significant anatomical heterogeneity ...

Two stage surgical repair of type II acute aortic dissection and aortic coarctation in a 12-year-old child [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2017
Introduction. Combination of acute aortic dissection associated with aortic coarctation in pediatric population is extremely rare. We are presenting a 12-year-old patient with these two conditions who was successfully treated with two-stage surgery. Case

Persistent fifth aortic arch associated with aortic coarctation: a case of surgical correction without artificial material

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2021
Background Persistent fifth aortic arch (PFAA) is a rare anomaly often associated with aortic coarctation or interruption, and various surgical techniques for this anomaly have been reported.

Aortic coarctation and associated cardiac lesions-optimal therapeutic approach: Report of 2 cases [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2019
Introduction. Aortic coarcation is a congenital condition mostly detected and treated during childhood. Adult patients with coarctation and associated cardiac lesions represent a challenge and a subject of debates concerning adequate treatment. We report

Reduced Aortic Distensibility is Associated With Higher Aorto‐Carotid Wave Transmission and Central Aortic Systolic Pressure in Young Adults After Coarctation Repair

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background The long‐term prognosis of patients with repaired aortic coarctation is characterized by high rates of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease related to hypertension, the basis of which remains unclear.
