Abdominal aortic aneurysm

The Lancet, 2005
Abdominal aortic aneurysms cause 1.3% of all deaths among men aged 65-85 years in developed countries. These aneurysms are typically asymptomatic until the catastrophic event of rupture. Repair of large or symptomatic aneurysms by open surgery or endovascular repair is recommended, whereas repair of small abdominal aortic aneurysms does not provide a ...

Platelet pannexin-1 channels modulate neutrophil activation and migration but not the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysm

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common disease and highly lethal if untreated. The progressive dilatation of the abdominal aorta is accompanied by degradation and remodeling of the vessel wall due to chronic inflammation.

A contemporary review of non-invasive methods in diagnosing abdominal aortic aneurysms

Journal of Ultrasonography, 2021
Background: Currently, the impact of abdominal aortic aneurysm may be changing despite the aging population, but may be ambiguous given the decline in smoking, the use of screening methods, and integration of non-surgical treatment.

Risk of aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection with the use of fluoroquinolones in Korea: a nested case–control study

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2022
Background Recent studies have raised concern about the association of fluoroquinolones with an increased risk of aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection. We aimed to evaluate such risk in a Korean population.

Comorbidities Associated with Large Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysm has become increasingly important owing to demographic changes. Some other diseases, for example, cholecystolithiasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and hernias, seem to co-occur with abdominal aortic ...

Targeting interleukin-1β protects from aortic aneurysms induced by disrupted transforming growth factor β signaling [PDF]

, 2017
Aortic aneurysms are life-threatening conditions with effective treatments mainly limited to emergency surgery or trans-arterial endovascular stent grafts, thus calling for the identification of specific molecular targets.

Fenestration of the intima to facilitate successful endovascular repair of a dissecting abdominal aneurysm

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Aortic aneurysm is an enlargement of the aorta with a loss of the arterial wall parallelism. There are several possible causes concerning etiology, one of which is the postsurgical presence of a patent distal false lumen.

Traumatic Aortic Aneurysms [PDF]

Circulation, 1954
Aneurysm of the thoracic aorta may follow severe, nonpenetrating injuries of the thorax unaccompanied by rib fractures. The aneurysms characteristically appear in the first portion of the descending aorta or less commonly in the proximal ascending portion. A large aneurysm, progressive enlargement, or symptoms may necessitate excision or repair.
