Cardiovascular Disease in Ageing: An Overview on Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm as an Emerging Inflammatory Disease

Mediators of Inflammation, 2017
Medial degeneration associated with thoracic aortic aneurysm and acute aortic dissection was originally described by Erdheim as a noninflammatory lesion related to the loss of smooth muscle cells and elastic fibre fragmentation in the media.

Coexistence of expanding abdominal aortic aneurysm and aggravated intervertebral disc extrusion -a case report- [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2013
Abdominal aortic aneurysm is included in the differential diagnosis of lower back pain. Although rare, this important disease can cause potentially lethal complications. In this case, expanding abdominal aortic aneurysm coexisted with intervertebral disc

Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Growth: Role of Sex and Aneurysm Etiology

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
Background Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) outcomes are worse in women than men, although reasons for sex differences are unknown. Because faster TAA growth is a risk factor for acute aortic syndromes, we sought to determine the role of sex and aneurysm ...

Staged graft replacement with thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair for an extensive thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm after total arch replacement

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2022
Background Open surgery for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm is highly invasive. Staged repair for extensive TAAA is effective because it has low morbidity and mortality, and preserves spinal cord perfusion. An initial total arch replacement can create a

A Deep Learning Approach to Automate High-Resolution Blood Vessel Reconstruction on Computerized Tomography Images With or Without the Use of Contrast Agent [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Existing methods to reconstruct vascular structures from a computed tomography (CT) angiogram rely on injection of intravenous contrast to enhance the radio-density within the vessel lumen. However, pathological changes can be present in the blood lumen, vessel wall or a combination of both that prevent accurate reconstruction. In the example of aortic

Computer-aided shape features extraction and regression models for predicting the ascending aortic aneurysm growth rate [PDF]

Volume 162, August 2023, 107052, Computers in Biology and Medicine
Objective: ascending aortic aneurysm growth prediction is still challenging in clinics. In this study, we evaluate and compare the ability of local and global shape features to predict ascending aortic aneurysm growth. Material and methods: 70 patients with aneurysm, for which two 3D acquisitions were available, are included.

Hereditary Influence in Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection.

Circulation, 2016
Thoracic aortic aneurysm is a potentially life-threatening condition in that it places patients at risk for aortic dissection or rupture. However, our modern understanding of the pathogenesis of thoracic aortic aneurysm is quite limited.

Surgery of infrarenal inflammatory aneurysm of abdominal aorta infected with methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a patient undergoing haemodialysis [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2008
INTRODUCTION Inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm accounts for 5% to 10% of all cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm and differs from typical atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysm in many important ways. Although both inflammatory and atherosclerotic
