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 ...

Ultrasound by emergency physicians to detect abdominal aortic aneurysms: a UK case series [PDF]

, 2004
Early identification of abdominal aortic aneurysms in some patients can be difficult and the diagnosis is missed in up to 30% of patients. Ultrasound cannot be used to identify a leak, but the presence of an aneurysm in an unstable patient is ...

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Autonomous Implants

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An ideal implant should mimic native tissues such that it can integrate, sense, heal, and continue to function, i.e., be autonomous. Although early, there are good steps taken in this way, e.g., the development of stimuli‐responsive, self‐powering, self‐actuating, self‐healing, self‐regenerating, and self‐aware implants.

Recurrent symptomatic aortic aneurysm in a young girl with tuberous sclerosis complex and review of the literature

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2023
An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a rare occurrence in pediatric populations. When present, it is usually associated with an underlying etiology such as a connective tissue disorder, inflammatory process, or noninflammatory medial degeneration.

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.

Use of perioperative ureteral stent in abdominal aortic aneurysm with retroperitoneal fibrosis - A report of two cases - [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2012
Retroperitoneal fibrosis is associated with fibroblast proliferation due to inflammatory changes in adipose/fibrous tissue. Given that aortic dilation in abdominal aortic aneurysm can cause compression of the ureter, abdominal aortic aneurysm complicated
