Demographical and Clinical Factors Predictive for Aortic Dilatation. When should we be Concerned about the Size?

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
Background: Thoracic aortic aneurysms are often an accidental finding and result from a degenerative process. Medical therapy includes pharmacological control of arterial hypertension and smoking cessation, that slows the growth of aneurysms.

Dynamics of primary cilia in endothelial and mesenchymal cells throughout mouse lung development

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cilia are specialized structures found on a variety of mammalian cells, with variable roles in the transduction of mechanical and biological signals (by primary cilia, PC), as well as in the generation of fluid flow (by motile cilia). Their critical role in the establishment of a left–right axis in early development is well described, as well ...

Complex two-stage open surgical repair of an aortoesophageal fistula after thoracic endovascular aortic repair

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2019
Aortoesophageal fistula after thoracic endovascular aortic repair is a rare but fatal complication, and no clear guidelines exist in the literature for optimal management.

Perspectives on the revised Ghent criteria for the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome [PDF]

, 2015
Three international nosologies have been proposed for the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome (MFS): the Berlin nosology in 1988; the Ghent nosology in 1996 (Ghent-1); and the revised Ghent nosology in 2010 (Ghent-2).

Squamate ventricular cardiomyocytes: Ploidy, proliferation, and heart muscle cell size in the leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background While heart function is broadly conserved across vertebrates, the cellular phenotype of muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) varies across taxa and throughout ontogeny. Emerging evidence suggests that some attributes may correlate with the capacity for spontaneous cardiomyocyte replacement following injury.

Computational simulations demonstrate altered wall shear stress in aortic coarctation patients previously treated by resection with end-to-end anastomosis [PDF]

, 2011
Background.  Atherosclerotic plaque in the descending thoracic aorta (dAo) is related to altered wall shear stress (WSS) for normal patients. Resection with end-to-end anastomosis (RWEA) is the gold standard for coarctation of the aorta (CoA) repair, but

Lineage labeling with zebrafish hand2 Cre and CreERT2 recombinase CRISPR knock‐ins

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The ability to generate endogenous Cre recombinase drivers using CRISPR‐Cas9 knock‐in technology allows lineage tracing, cell type‐specific gene studies, and in vivo validation of inferred developmental trajectories from phenotypic and gene expression analyses. This report describes endogenous zebrafish hand2 Cre and CreERT2 drivers

Next-Generation Frozen Elephant Trunk Technique in the Era of Precision Medicine

Journal of Chest Surgery
The frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique can be applied to extensive aortic pathology, including lesions in the aortic arch and proximal descending thoracic aorta. FET is useful for tear-oriented surgery in dissections, managing malperfusion syndrome,
