Background In the myocardium, pericytes are often confused with other interstitial cell types, such as fibroblasts. The lack of well‐characterized and specific tools for identification, lineage tracing, and conditional targeting of myocardial pericytes ...

Rare association between giant-cell aortitis and giant-cell aortic valvulitis
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a type of chronic vasculitis that affects medium and large-caliber arteries, frequently related to aortic involvement and, consequently, to aneurysm formation. However, associated valvulitis with giant cells is uncommon. We

WSSNet: Aortic Wall Shear Stress Estimation Using Deep Learning on 4D Flow MRI
Wall shear stress (WSS) is an important contributor to vessel wall remodeling and atherosclerosis. However, image-based WSS estimation from 4D Flow MRI underestimates true WSS values, and the accuracy is dependent on spatial resolution, which is limited ...

Comparative study of wall shear stress at the ascending aorta for different mechanical heart valve prostheses [PDF]
An experimental study is reported which investigates the wall shear stress (WSS) distribution in a transparent model of the human aorta comparing a bileaflet mechanical heart valve (BMHV) with a trileaflet mechanical heart valve (TMHV) in physiological ...

Aortic stenting in the growing sheep causes aortic endothelial dysfunction but not hypertension: Clinical implications for coarctation repair [PDF]
Stent implantation is the treatment of choice for adolescents and adults with aortic coarctation (CoAo). Despite excellent short-term results, 20%-40% of the patients develop arterial hypertension later in life, which was attributed to inappropriate ...

This review covers the major presentations affecting the aorta: aortic aneurysms (abdominal aortic aneurysms and thoracic aortic aneurysms), acute aortic syndromes (including aortic dissection, intramural hematoma, and penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer), other nonacute aortic processes, and traumatic disease of the aorta.

Endovascular repair for acute traumatic transection of the descending thoracic aorta: experience of a single centre with a 12-years follow up [PDF]
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
