Aneurysms of the thoracic aorta [PDF]
Thorax, 1971 Selected radiographs from 40 patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm serve to illustrate most of the radiographic features of this disease. Surgical techniques are outlined and were used to modify the natural course of the disease in 14 patients, with three postoperative deaths.

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 ...

Multiple Tortuous Arteries in Thoracic and Abdominal Walls: A Cadaveric Case Report [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2022 The thoracic aorta extends from lower border of fourth thoracic vertebra upto the aortic hiatus of thoraco-abdominal diaphragm at the lower border of 12th thoracic vertebra. Then it continues as abdominal aorta upto lower border of fourth lumbar vertebra

Endovascular repair for acute traumatic transection of the descending thoracic aorta: experience of a single centre with a 12-years follow up [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Most blunt aortic injuries occur in the proximal proximal descending aorta causing acute transection of this vessel. Generally, surgical repair of the ruptured segment of aorta is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality and in

Deep Learning-Based Image Reconstruction for CT Angiography of the Aorta
Diagnostics, 2021 To evaluate the impact of a novel, deep-learning-based image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithm on image quality in CT angiography of the aorta, we retrospectively analyzed 51 consecutive patients who underwent ECG-gated chest CT angiography and non-gated ...

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 ...
