Assessment of the quality of life comparison between open and endovascular aortic arch surgery: a pilot study

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background Advancement in endovascular endografts have paved the way to the possibility of performing endovascular aortic arch repair in recent years. This has started to supersede the need for open aortic arch surgery.

Type III aortic arch angulation increases aortic stiffness: Analysis from an ex vivo porcine modelCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open
Objective: The relationship among increased aortic arch angulation, aortic flow dynamics, and vessel wall stiffness remains unclear. This experimental ex vivo study investigated how increased aortic arch angulation affects aortic stiffness and stent ...

Endovascular treatment of a descending thoracic aorta aneurysm in a patient with right sided aortic arch: a case report

CVIR Endovascular
Backround Right-sided aortic arch is a rare congenital variant. The Edwards classification describes three types of right sided-aortic arch: right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery, right aortic arch with mirror image branching, and right ...

Ligilactobacillus Murinus and Lactobacillus Johnsonii Suppress Macrophage Pyroptosis in Atherosclerosis through Butyrate‐GPR109A‐GSDMD Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Oral aspirin administration induces intestinal expansion of Lactobacillus murinus and Lactobacillus johnsonii, which suppresses the progression of atherosclerosis. This microbial expansion significantly enhances butyrate production by providing lactate as a metabolic substrate, thereby fostering the growth of butyrate‐producing bacteria. Butyrate plays

Aortic Geometric Alteration Associated With Acute Type B Aortic Dissection: Angulation, Tortuosity, and Arch Type

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Background: Acute type B aortic dissection is a highly serious aortic pathology. Aortic geometric parameters may be useful variables related to the occurrence of acute type B aortic dissection (aTBAD).

The GRK2/AP‐1 Signaling Axis Mediates Vascular Endothelial Dysfunction and Atherosclerosis Induced by Oscillatory Low Shear Stress

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study highlights GRK2 is a central mediator in OSS‐induced endothelial dysfunction. OSS activates GPCRs in endothelial cells, leading to GRK2 phosphorylation and the activation of AP‐1. AP‐1 induces inflammation, while also promoting NR4A1 expression and anchoring LKB1 in the nucleus, which suppresses AMPK activity. This cascade causes endothelial

Subclavian steal syndrome in a right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery atresia

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2023
Congenital aortic arch anomalies are an uncommon diagnosis resulting from embryologic malformations during the fourth to eighth week of gestation. Asymptomatic variants frequently are overlooked in the perinatal period and diagnosed incidentally during ...

Mesencephalic Astrocyte‐Derived Neurotrophic Factor Binds BAX to Preserve Mitochondrial Homeostasis and Energy Metabolism for Relieving Myocardial Hypertrophy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MANF in cardiomyocytes interacts with BAX to impede BAX mitochondrial translocation and cytochrome c release, further stabilizing mitochondrial structure and energy supply to relieve myocardial apoptosis and hypertrophy, which indicates MANF as a novel cardioprotective factor to have a promising clinical application for myocardial hypertrophy ...

Critical transitions in early embryonic aortic arch patterning and hemodynamics. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Transformation from the bilaterally symmetric embryonic aortic arches to the mature great vessels is a complex morphogenetic process, requiring both vasculogenic and angiogenic mechanisms.
