The sources of innervation of the aortic arch and thoracic aorta in human fetuses [PDF]

Archives of the Balkan Medical Union, 2021
Introduction. The development of angiosurgery requires the morphologists to clarify in more details the topographic anatomical peculiarities of arterial vessels, considering their morphogenesis, peculiarities of innervation, age and individual anatomical

Early results of bare metal extension stent for thoracoabdominal aortic dissectionCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Techniques, 2022
Objectives: Debakey type I and IIIb aortic dissections are complicated by extension along the full length of the aorta. Over the long term, the thoracoabdominal aorta in these patients often continues to degenerate, requiring endovascular or open repair.

Multiaxial pulsatile dynamics of the thoracic aorta and impact of thoracic endovascular repair

European Journal of Radiology Open, 2021
Purpose: The thoracic aorta is a highly mobile organ whose dynamics are altered by thoracic endovascular aorta repair (TEVAR). The aim of this study was to quantify cardiac pulsatility-induced multi-axial deformation of the thoracic aorta before and ...

Correlation between coronary artery calcium score and aorta diameter in population with long-standing hypertension using noncontrast CT scan

Arterial Hypertension, 2022
BACKGROUND: Early detection of aortic aneurysms is challenging in hypertensive patients due to the high risk of life-threatening ruptures. Limited studies on the relationship between coronary artery calcium and aortic diameter are present.

Reciprocal regulation of NRF2 by autophagy and ubiquitin–proteasome modulates vascular endothelial injury induced by copper oxide nanoparticles

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2022
Highlights 1. CuONPs exposure activates NRF2 signaling in vascular endothelial cells and mouse thoracic aorta. 2. KEAP1 is dispensable for NRF2 activation in CuONPs-treated vascular endothelial cells. 3.

Biomechanical and biochemical properties of the thoracic aorta in warmblood horses, Friesian horses, and Friesians with aortic rupture [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Thoracic aortic rupture and aortopulmonary fistulation are rare conditions in horses. It mainly affects Friesian horses. Intrinsic differences in biomechanical properties of the aortic wall might predispose this breed.

Thoracic aorta cardiac-cycle related dynamic changes assessed with a 256-slice CT scanner [PDF]

, 2013
Objective: The aim of our study was to demonstrate whether the dynamic changes previously documented at the ascending and abdominal aorta are replicated at the thoracic aorta.

Including Aortic Valve Morphology in Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations: Initial Findings and Application to Aortic Coarctation [PDF]

, 2012
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations quantifying thoracic aortic flow patterns have not included disturbances from the aortic valve (AoV). 80% of patients with aortic coarctation (CoA) have a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) which may cause adverse ...
