Mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm caused by Borrelia afzelii: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2022
Background Inflammatory aneurysms and mycotic aneurysms make up a minority of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Mainly autoimmune mechanisms are proposed in the pathogenesis of inflammatory aneurysms, and it is not routine to check for infectious agents as ...

Heterozygous Variants in LRP1 Cause a Neurodevelopmental Disorder With Congenital Heart Defects

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT LRP1 encodes the low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor‐related protein 1 (LRP1), a transmembrane protein involved in endocytosis and activation of multiple signaling pathways. LRP1 variants have been implicated in the pathogenesis of congenital heart defects (CHD), Alzheimer's disease, and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD).

The ETTAA study protocol: a UK-wide observational study of 'Effective Treatments for Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm'. [PDF]

, 2015
Introduction Chronic thoracic aortic aneurysm (CTAA) affecting the arch or descending aorta is an indolent but life-threatening condition with a rising prevalence as the UK population ages.

Techniques in Endovascular Aneurysm Repair

International Journal of Vascular Medicine, 2011
Endovascular repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (EVARs) has revolutionized the treatment of aortic aneurysms, with over half of elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repairs performed endoluminally each year.

Management of abdominal aortic aneurysm

Journal of British Surgery, 1978
Abstract A series of 245 patients was operated upon for abdominal aortic aneurysm during the years 1969–77, of whom 162 were elective cases while in 83 the aneurysm was leaking or had ruptrued. The hospital mortality for the latter group fell from 77 per cent at the beginning of the study period to 30 per cent at the end.

A Novel Anatomical Description of the Normal Terminal Fibular Artery and the Terminal Fibular Window: Radiological Findings and Surgical Implications

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A novel anatomical description and radiological finding, related to the anatomical course of the terminal fibular artery (FibA) was recently reported. In the article, the authors found the terminal FibA to change its course, from being posterior and medial to the fibula to surface anteriorly and laterally before residing below the tibiofibular

Macrophage ILF3 promotes abdominal aortic aneurysm by inducing inflammatory imbalance in male mice

Nature Communications
Imbalance of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses plays a crucial role in the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms. ILF3, a known modulator of the innate immune response, is involved in cardiovascular diseases.

Biomechanics of abdominal aortic aneurysm [PDF]

Journal of Biomechanics, 2007
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a condition whereby the terminal aorta permanently dilates to dangerous proportions, risking rupture. The biomechanics of AAA has been studied with great interest since aneurysm rupture is a mechanical failure of the degenerated aortic wall and is a significant cause of death in developed countries.
