Tzu Chi Medical Journal, 2015 Aortic diseases contribute to the high overall cardiovascular mortality rate. The Global Burden Disease 2010 project demonstrated that the overall global death rate from aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection has increased in the past decade. Guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of aortic diseases emphasize rapid and efficacious diagnostic ...

Imaging Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2020 High-quality aortic imaging plays a central role in the management of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm. Computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance angiography are the most commonly used techniques for thoracic aortic aneurysm diagnosis and imaging surveillance, with each having unique strengths and limitations that should be weighed ...

A Review of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Disease [PDF]
Echo Research & Practice, 2020 Abstract Aortic diseases may be diagnosed after a long period of subclinical development or they may have an acute presentation. Acute aortic syndrome is often the first sign of the disease, which needs rapid diagnosis and decision making to reduce the extremely poor prognosis. Aortic dilatation is a well-recognised risk factor for acute

Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2014 Aortic dissection is the most devastating complication of thoracic aortic disease. In the more than 250 years since thoracic aortic dissection was first described, much has been learned about diseases of the thoracic aorta. In this review, we describe normal thoracic aortic size; risk factors for dissection, including genetic and inflammatory ...

Aortic angiosarcoma masquerading as a thoracic aortic aneurysm [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2009 Aortic angiosarcoma is an exceedingly rare clinical entity. Significant delay in diagnosis can occur due to a low index of suspicion on the part of the clinician. We report a case of aortic angiosarcoma masquerading as a descending thoracic aneurysm arising from a penetrating ulcer. The patient was initially treated with an endovascular stent graft for

CT of thoracic aortic aneurysms. [PDF]
RadioGraphics, 1990 Aneurysms of the thoracic aorta are most often the result of arteriosclerotic disease. Other causes include degeneration of the medial layer of the aortic wall, either idiopathically or due to genetic disorders such as Marfan syndrome; aortic dissection; trauma; syphilis and other bacterial infection; noninfective aortitis; and congenital anomaly.

Mitochondrial function in thoracic aortic aneurysms [PDF]
Cardiovascular Research, 2018 Mitochondria contain multiple copies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that encode ribosomal and transfer RNAs and many essential proteins required for oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondria are essential for generation of ATP, but also generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a by-product of the electron transport chain. Oxidative damage to mitochondrial
