Challenging endovascular treatment of a thoracic saccular aneurysm in extensive coral reef aorta

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2022
Coral reef aorta (CRA) is characterized by heavily calcified obstructive lesions in the aorta. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is an established, less invasive procedure for aortic diseases; however, aortic occlusive diseases are commonly ...

Including Aortic Valve Morphology in Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations: Initial Findings and Application to Aortic Coarctation [PDF]

, 2012
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations quantifying thoracic aortic flow patterns have not included disturbances from the aortic valve (AoV). 80% of patients with aortic coarctation (CoA) have a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) which may cause adverse ...

Thoracic and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms [PDF]

Circulation, 2005
Aneurysms of the aorta are at times evaluated and treated by physicians from a number of specialties. Indeed, whereas cardiac surgeons operate on the ascending aorta and arch and vascular surgeons manage abdominal aortic aneurysms, at present the responsibility often falls to cardiologists to oversee the medical care of patients with aortic disease of ...

Comparative analysis of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms across the segment and species at the single-cell level

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Introduction: Aortic aneurysm is a life-threatening disease resulted from progressive dilatation of the aorta, which can be subdivided into thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Biomechanical and biochemical properties of the thoracic aorta in warmblood horses, Friesian horses, and Friesians with aortic rupture [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Thoracic aortic rupture and aortopulmonary fistulation are rare conditions in horses. It mainly affects Friesian horses. Intrinsic differences in biomechanical properties of the aortic wall might predispose this breed.

A case of a highly tortuous descending thoracic aortic aneurysm treated by surgical exclusion

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2020
The patient was a 76-year-old woman with an atypical descending thoracic aortic aneurysm due to a highly tortuous descending aorta. The surgical approach in this case required special consideration because of the aneurysm’s location. The main body of the

Long‐Term Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes in Patients With Clinically Isolated Aortitis

ACR Open Rheumatology, 2022
Objective The optimal management of patients with incidentally found clinically isolated aortitis (CIA) after aneurysm repair is unclear. This study compared long‐term surgical and clinical outcomes after surgical repair of thoracic aortic aneurysm ...

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 ...

Treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysm [PDF]

Annals of Translational Medicine, 2018
The diameter of thoracic aortic aneurysm (AA) is at least 1.5 times that of a normal thoracic aorta (1). Sixty percent of thoracic AAs occur in the aortic root and/or the ascending aorta, 40% occur in the descending aorta, 10% occur in the aortic arch, and 10% occur in the thoracoabdominal aorta (2).
