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 Valvuloplasty or Rootplasty for Aortic Regurgitation

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery: Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Annual, 2018
At present, aortic valvuloplasty is considered an effective procedure for treatment of aortic regurgitation in pediatric patients. It has encouraging mid- and long-term results. The improved outcome is primarily related to better understanding of the functional anatomy of the normal valve and the different factors that alter it.

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.

Epidemiology and management of aortic disease: aortic aneurysms and acute aortic syndromes

Nature Reviews Cardiology, 2020
The aorta is the 'greatest artery', through which oxygenated blood is delivered from the left ventricle to end organs with each cardiac cycle (200 million litres of blood transported in an average lifetime). The aorta can be affected by a wide spectrum of acute factors (such as cocaine use, weight lifting and trauma) and chronic acquired and/or genetic
