Computational analysis to assess hemodynamic forces in descending thoracic aortic aneurysms
Abstract figure legend Left: Pre‐processing. First, we perform the segmentation of the Computer Tomography angiorgraphy (angio‐CT) scans of a healthy patient, obtaining the surface of a healthy thoracic aorta with a Type III aortic arch. Then, we build nine ideal configurations with Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (DTAA), varying the aortic arch ...

Intrathoracic subclavian artery aneurysm repair in the thoracic endovascular aortic repair era [PDF]
ObjectiveIntrathoracic subclavian artery aneurysms (SAAs) are rare aneurysms that often occur in association with congenital aortic arch anomalies and/or concomitant thoracic aortic pathology.

ABSTRACT Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare but life‐threatening condition. Initial management typically includes thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) or aortic graft replacement to achieve hemostasis, followed by esophagectomy with aortic graft replacement and greater omentum wrapping to eliminate the source of infection.

ABSTRACT Background Carotid artery stenosis is a major cause of stroke. Non‐contrast MR angiography (MRA) using time‐spatial labeling inversion pulse (Time‐SLIP) may offer potential advantages over 3D time‐of‐flight (TOF)‐MRA for simultaneous visualization of carotid, vertebral, and subclavian arteries, but remains uninvestigated.
