Acute aortic syndromes: aortic dissections, penetrating aortic ulcers and intramural aortic hematomas

Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2005
Acute aortic syndromes, including dissections, intramural hematomas and penetrating aortic ulcers, are a catastrophic clinical entity that are relatively uncommon. A high index of clinical suspicion along with proper imaging modalities are critical in making a prompt and accurate diagnosis for immediate management and to improve survival of the patient.

Pathology of the Aortic Valve: Aortic Valve Stenosis/Aortic Regurgitation

Current Cardiology Reports, 2019
This discussion is intended to review the anatomy and pathology of the aortic valve and aortic root region, and to provide a basis for the understanding of and treatment of the important life-threatening diseases that affect the aortic valve.The most exciting recent finding is that less invasive methods are being developed to treat diseases of the ...

Endovascular Aortic Clamping for Pseudoaneurysms of the Aortic Root With Aortic Regurgitation

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2005
We propose a safer strategy for surgical treatment of retro-sternal pseudoaneurysms of the aortic root with severe aortic regurgitation. The objective was to allow safer re-entry in a quite and bloodless field eliminating the risk of ventricular distension and avoiding deep hypothermia.In 6 patients presenting with postsurgical aortic root ...

Differential Effects of Aortic Valve Replacement on Aortic Circumferential Strain in Aortic Stenosis and Aortic Insufficiency

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2021
Aortic valve replacement (AVR) potentially can modify pulse-wave propagation to the distal aorta. Echo-derived global circumferential strain (GCS) was used to test whether AVR for aortic stenosis (AS) or aortic insufficiency (AI) resulted in differential aortic biomechanics in the descending thoracic aorta.This was a prospective observational study of ...

Aortic dissection and aortic aneurysm surgery

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1994
During the last year, the role of noninvasive studies for aortic dissection--magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography scanning, and transesophageal echocardiography--has become better defined. Both magnetic resonance imaging and transesophageal echocardiography are highly accurate in detecting aortic dissection.

Supravalvular Aortic Stenosis in Aortic Dissection

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1998
Supravalvular aortic stenosis is a rare complication of aortic dissection. We report on echocardiographic and magnetic resonance observations in 2 cases of aortic dissection with false lumen thrombosis of the ascending aorta and severe narrowing of the true lumen.

Aortic Dilatation with Bicuspid Aortic Valve

New England Journal of Medicine, 2014
To the Editor: In their review on thoracic aortic dilatation associated with bicuspid aortic valve, Verma and Siu (May 15 issue)1 do not mention the increased prevalence of bicuspid aortic valve and its strong association with aortic dilatation and dissection in women with Turner's syndrome.2 This sex-chromosome disorder, which is caused by the loss of

Aortic valve and/or aortic root replacement using an aortic homograft

Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2009
Aortic valve replacement using the homograft valve has a special place in the cardiac surgical practice although it has never been widely used, in part due to the lack of tissue donors but also due to the perceived difficulty of the procedure compared with aortic valve replacement using prosthetic devices and concerns regarding homograft valve failure.
