Epidemiology of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms [PDF]

Epidemiologic Reviews, 1999
Abdominal aortic aneurysms are responsible for a substantial public health burden in developed countries. In 1991, abdominal aneurysm was cited as the primary or secondary cause of 12,711 deaths in the United States (1). Aortic aneurysms of unspecified site, many of which were probably abdominal, were cited for a further 4,108 deaths.

Platelet function in patients undergoing major non‐cardiac vascular surgery (PLUGS): a prospective cohort study*

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Patients who require major vascular surgery often receive antiplatelet therapy for primary or secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Clopidogrel resistance and variability in platelet recovery after drug discontinuation pose clinical challenges, particularly for regional anaesthesia and blood management.

Blood pressure, hypertension, and the risk of aortic aneurysm in the UK Biobank

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Background Although an association between elevated blood pressure and risk of aortic aneurysm is established, few studies have investigated the association with aortic aneurysm subtypes.

A multi-angle plane wave imaging approach for high frequency 2D flow visualization in small animals: simulation study in the murine arterial system [PDF]

, 2014
To preclinically investigate the role of hemodynamics in atherogenesis, mouse models are particularly useful due to the rapid disease development. As such, murine blood flow visualization has become an important tool, with current US systems equipped ...

Comparative Evaluation of Mortality Risk Prediction Tools After Emergency Laparotomy

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Accurate pre‐operative prediction of mortality after emergency laparotomy (EL) is essential as it may facilitate shared decision‐making. The aim of our study was to compare the prognostic accuracy of three risk prediction tools following EL. Methods This retrospective cohort study included all consecutive adult patients (≥ 18 years)

Using multiple classifiers for predicting the risk of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair re-intervention through hybrid feature selection. [PDF]

, 2017
Feature selection is essential in medical area; however, its process becomes complicated with the presence of censoring which is the unique character of survival analysis.

Prediabetes, Malignant Ventricular Hypertrophy and Stroke: The SPRINT Trial

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Prediabetes and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) are common risk factors in adults with hypertension. Whether their coexistence, particularly in the presence of subclinical myocardial injury or stress (malignant LVH), confers a heightened stroke risk is unknown.

When proteases reshape barriers: Basement membrane remodelling in development, wound healing and tumour progression

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Basement membrane (BM) homeostasis relies on a balance between integrity, controlled remodelling and pathological degradation. Increased protease expression beneath the BM, along with reduced levels of endogenous protease inhibitors, drives the transition from a continuous, protective barrier to a discontinuous interface.

Two cases of pararenal artery aortic aneurysm treatment after pancreaticoduodenectomy and abdominal aortic aneurysm stent grafting

Surgical Case Reports
Background Acute pancreatitis caused by surgical procedures may occur less frequently in surgeries for aortic aneurysm involving the abdominal branch. However, in such cases, the associated mortality rate increases significantly.

Consecutive failing proximal landing zones

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2019
We report the case of a 77-year-old man who presented with successive aortic aneurysms during a 12-year period. He was first treated in 2006 for an abdominal aortic aneurysm with a bifurcated endograft, then in 2016 for a tender type IV thoracoabdominal ...
