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 ...

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 ...

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).

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 ...

Propagation-based phase-contrast synchrotron imaging of aortic dissection in mice : from individual elastic lamella to 3D analysis [PDF]
, 2018 In order to show the advantage and potential of propagation-based phase-contrast synchrotron imaging in vascular pathology research, we analyzed aortic medial ruptures in BAPN/AngII-infused mice, a mouse model for aortic dissection. Ascending and thoraco-

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

Synchrotron-based visualization and segmentation of elastic lamellae in the mouse carotid artery during quasi-static pressure inflation [PDF]
, 2018 This dataset contains images that were obtained during quasi-static pressure inflation of mouse carotid arteries. Images were taken with phase propagation imaging at the X02DA TOMCAT beamline of the Swiss Light Source synchrotron at the Paul Scherrer ...

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 ...
