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

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

Thoracic aorta – dilated or not?
Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal, 2006Knowledge 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

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 ...

Coarctation of the Thoracic Aorta
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1971Abstract 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 ...

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.

Traumatic Rupture of the Thoracic Aorta
Acta Chirurgica Belgica, 2003Traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta is a life threatening situation, and may be secondary to several mechanisms; mainly penetrating or iatrogenic lesions and blunt trauma. Although penetrating mechanisms predominate, the number of patients with aortic disruption due to blunt trauma has continued to increase. This paper shows an overview focusing on

Three-dimensional vascular imaging techniques offer a significant advantage over traditional imaging techniques. Spatial resolution of current state-of-the-art allows sufficient depiction of anatomical detail. Pre-operative planning of complex endovascular procedures is facilitated by state-of-the-art imaging.

CT angiography of the thoracic aorta
Seminars in Roentgenology, 2003Nine years after its introduction, spiral or helical CTA is being embraced as an important noninvasive tool for imaging the thoracic aorta and its branches. The high degree of accessibility and ease with which the studies are performed make it a viable alternative to aortography.

Catheter angiography, transthoracic and transoesophageal ultrasound and contrast-enhanced helical CT are generally accepted and well-established imaging modalities for detecting pathology of the thoracic aorta. The disadvantages of helical CT and X-ray angiography include the exposure of the patient to ionising radiation and the potential risk of ...
