Telomere Biology and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm [PDF]
Ascending aortic aneurysms are mostly asymptomatic and present a great risk of aortic dissection or perforation. Consequently, ascending aortic aneurysms are a source of lethality with increased age. Biological aging results in progressive attrition of telomeres, which are the repetitive DNA sequences at the end of chromosomes.

Abstract Aims Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is the standard approach for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in advanced ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Microaxial pump support has been envisioned to allow for beating‐heart CABG without CPB (MPCAB), thereby avoiding CPB‐inherent complications.

Case Series: Natural History and Treatment of Thoracic Aortic Sarcoma
ABSTRACT Aortic sarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis despite surgical resection and vascular reconstruction. We present a case series of patients with thoracic aortic sarcoma, highlighting three distinct clinical scenarios: primary resection, resection following prior thoracic aortic endograft, and nonoperative management ...

Deciphering the panvascular immune landscape of atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis (AS) involves inflammation in major arteries and can cause severe cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes, yet disease patterns vary significantly between arteries, complicating diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we integrated transcriptomic and single‐cell RNA sequencing data from AS plaques across five key arterial ...

Radiological Insights Into the Pericardium: A Comprehensive Review
ABSTRACT The pericardium is not simply a two‐layered membrane surrounding the heart and great vessels. Pericardial effusion is the most common manifestation of various pathological conditions involving the pericardium. Therefore, we are tempted to think of the pericardium as a virtual space containing only fluid, but it can also contain solid and ...

Embedding Pharmacogenetics Into Clinical Practice to Improve Patient Outcomes
ABSTRACT Pharmacogenomics, the use of germline genomic data to guide prescription to improve effective and safer medication, holds promise as a clinical intervention. To date in most health systems, there has been limited uptake of pharmacogenomic testing confined to a few single drug–gene associations.

Summary Introduction Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) is used widely in cardiac surgery. Reference ranges are derived from healthy volunteers but may not be interchangeable with those from patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Furthermore, sex and age seem to influence rotational thromboelastometry profiles.

Outcomes of type A aortic dissection in Australia
Mortality outcomes for type A aortic dissection in Australia have improved over time, stabilizing at 18% over the last 5 years. Units performing fewer operations for type A dissection showed equivalent mortality outcomes to high‐volume units. Abstract Introduction Without surgical intervention, type A aortic dissection (TAAD) carries a high risk of ...
