Thoracic Aorta

open access: yes, 2013
The thoracic aorta can be affected by both acute and chronic pathological conditions characterized by high mortality, whose early diagnosis plays a crucial role in their prognosis and therapy.

Leiomyosarcoma of the thoracic aorta

The Japanese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1999
This case involves a patient with aortic leiomyosarcoma. A patient clinically suspected of type IIIa dissecting aortic aneurysm underwent surgery. The descending thoracic aorta was found to be filled with a soft, yellow tumor and was replaced with a woven Dacron graft.

Surgery of the Thoracic Aorta

New England Journal of Medicine, 1997
The modern surgical treatment of disorders of the thoracic aorta began in the early 1950s when Gross, Swan, Lam, and DeBakey and their associates1–4 reported successful treatment of coarctation and aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta using segmental resection and replacement with several types of grafts. In 1956, Cooley and DeBakey5 reported the

MRI of the Thoracic Aorta

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America, 2007
Diseases of the thoracic aorta cause significant morbidity and mortality and can result in potentially catastrophic consequences. Conventional digital subtraction angiography (DSA) has been the gold standard for imaging for many years; however, this is associated with adverse effects and provides only limited information about vessel morphology. DSA is

A feasibility study of deep learning for predicting hemodynamics of human thoracic aorta.

Journal of Biomechanics, 2019
Numerical analysis methods including finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis have been used to study the biomechanics of human tissues and organs, as well as tissue-medical device ...

Thoracic aorta – dilated or not?

Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal, 2006
Knowledge of normal aortic diameters is important in the assessment of aortic disease. The aim of this study was to determine normal thoracic aortic diameters.77 patients undergoing computed tomography of the thorax were studied. The diameter of the thoracic aorta was measured at three levels in the ascending aorta and at three levels in the descending

Coarctation of the Thoracic Aorta

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1971
Abstract Operative resection is clearly the treatment of choice for coarctation of the thoracic aorta. The optimal time for elective repair appears to start at age 4 years. When coarctation must be dealt with in the first few months of life because of persisting congestive heart failure, there will be a significant mortality which is correlated with ...

Rupture of the Thoracic Aorta

Archives of Surgery, 1961
The publication of this article is based upon the conviction that aortic rupture has generally been mishandled due to confusion concerning its diagnosis and prognosis. The anatomicopathology of our cases suggests the feasibility of rapid diagnosis of the condition and early operative interference.

Flow in the thoracic aorta

Cardiovascular Research, 1979
Pulsed ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry and theoretical flow analysis have been combined to improve the knowledge and understanding of aortic velocity profiles and wall shear. From the theoretical point of view, particular aspects of the flow were developed, concerning the vorticity in the aorta, the interior velocity distribution, the boundary layer ...
