Diabetes and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms [PDF]

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2014
Epidemiologic evidence suggests that patients with diabetes may have a lower incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA); however, the link between diabetes and AAA development and expansion is unclear. The aim of this review is to analyze updated evidence to better understand the impact of diabetes on prevalence, incidence, clinical outcome, and ...

Targeting interleukin-1β protects from aortic aneurysms induced by disrupted transforming growth factor β signaling [PDF]

, 2017
Aortic aneurysms are life-threatening conditions with effective treatments mainly limited to emergency surgery or trans-arterial endovascular stent grafts, thus calling for the identification of specific molecular targets.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2004
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is defined as a localized dilation of the artery that is 1.5 times the diameter of the normal segment. The most common location for an aortic aneurysm is the infrarenal segment where a diameter that exceeds 3 cm in diameter is considered aneurysmal.

Inflammatory Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms [PDF]

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2005
Inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms (IAAA) are a variant of aortic aneurysm characterised by extensive peri-aneurysmal fibrosis, thickened walls and dense adhesions and represent between 3 and 10% of all abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Surgery is technically challenging and is still associated with an increased morbidity and mortality ...

Spontaneous sealing of a type Ia endoleak after ovation stent graft implantation in a patient with on-label aortic neck anatomy [PDF]

, 2016
We report a case of an early type Ia endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of an abdominal aortic aneurysm by Ovation Stent Graft implantation and spontaneously resolved without further reintervention.

Leucine‐Rich Repeat‐Containing G Protein‐Coupled Receptor 6 Ameliorates Pressure Overload‐Induced Cardiac Hypertrophy by Regulating Cardiomyocyte Metabolic Reprogramming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
LGR6 overexpression ameliorates cardiac hypertrophy by regulating metabolic reprogramming through USP4‐PPARα pathway. Abstract Metabolic reprogramming is a pivotal mechanism in the pathogenesis of pathological cardiac hypertrophy. Leucine‐rich repeat‐containing G protein‐coupled receptor 6 (Lgr6) has emerged as a significant player in cardiovascular ...

Open conversion after aortic endograft infection. Caused by colistin-resistant, carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]

, 2016
A 62-year-old man presented with fever, abdominal pain, and malaise 13 months after emergency endovascular aortic repair. Computed tomographic angiograms showed a periprosthetic fluid and gas collection, so infection was diagnosed. Open conversion was

Calpain‐2‐Mediated Endothelial Focal Adhesion Disruption in Thoracic Aortic Dissection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The elevated expression of Capn2 in endothelial cells activates focal adhesion signaling by cleaving Talin1 and assembling Itgav, which compromises the integrity of the endothelial barrier and induces vascular inflammation. Inhibition of calpain through both pharmacological and transgenic approaches has effectively suppressed the onset and progression ...

Abdominal aortic aneurysm

Journal of British Surgery, 1988
Abstract Between 1981 and 1986, 282 cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm were diagnosed in Waltham Forest. Rupture had occurred in 183, 15 underwent urgent operation for intact aneurysm, and 84 had elective surgery. The incidence of rupture increased from 13 to 21 per 100000 population during the 6-year period.
