Adult congenital aortic coarctation complicated by acute type a aortic intramural hematoma treated with a staged hybrid technique: a case report [PDF]

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) in adults is rare. usually combined with dilatation of the ascending aorta. Further disease progression complicated by hematoma or dissection of the ascending aorta is even more complicated and dangerous.

Birth defects associated with paternal firefighting in the National Birth Defects Prevention Study

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 30-40, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Few studies have evaluated birth defects among children of firefighters. We investigated associations between birth defects and paternal work as a firefighter compared to work in non‐firefighting and police officer occupations. Methods We analyzed 1997–2011 data from the multi‐site case‐control National Birth Defects Prevention ...

Prevalence of congenital heart defects in Europe, 2008–2015: A registry‐based study

Birth Defects Research, Volume 114, Issue 20, Page 1404-1416, December 1, 2022., 2022
Abstract Background The total prevalence of congenital heart defects (CHDs) varies by populations and over time. Studies that examine trends in the prevalence of CHD in different regions may shed light on our understanding of the occurrence of CHD and the impact of different risk factors.

Predictors of aortic dilation in patients with coarctation of the aorta: evaluation with dual-source computed tomography

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2018
Background Coarctation of aorta (CoA) may progressively develop aortic dilation at other site of the aorta and can lead to fatal aortic diseases. We aimed to evaluate the occurrence of aortic dilation and related predictors in patients with CoA using ...
