Different transcatheter strategies for aortic coarctation associated with patent ductus arteriosus
Background: Older patients with combination of aortic coarctation and large patent ductus arteriosus can be managed with transcatheter interventions. The strategies depend on anatomy of coarctation and size of ductus arteriosus. Methods: We present three

Background: Critical coarctation of the aorta is the most common congenital heart disease with ductal-dependent systemic circulation. In severe forms, this disease represents a critical condition, which can become life-threatening.

Abstract Pathogenic variants in JAG1 are known to cause Alagille syndrome (ALGS), a disorder that primarily affects the liver, lung, kidney, and skeleton. Whereas cardiac symptoms are also frequently observed in ALGS, thoracic aortic aneurysms have only been reported sporadically in postmortem autopsies.

3.3 ASSESSMENT OF AORTIC MORPHOLOGY IN A BICUSPID AORTIC VALVE POPULATION
Background: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a congenital heart disease associated with aortic wall abnormalities and co-existing with other congenital defects (e.g. aortic coarctation). This study aimed to explore aortic shape features in a BAV population,

MODERN VIEWS ON THE GENE NOTCH1 MUTATIONS ROLE FOR AORTIC COARCTATION
Aim. By the observation of aortic coarctation victims families, to reveal factors predisposing to the disease development, and to evaluate the prevalence of NOTCH1 genes mutation/replacements in patients with this kind of defect.

Towards a Computational Framework for Modeling the Impact of Aortic Coarctations upon Left Ventricular Load [PDF]
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models of blood flow in the left ventricle (LV) and aorta are important tools for analyzing the mechanistic links between myocardial deformation and flow patterns. Typically, the use of image-based kinematic CFD models prevails in applications such as predicting the acute response to interventions which alter LV ...

Emergency rescue stent grafting for a ruptured degenerated graft that bypassed coarctation of the aorta: a case report [PDF]
A 33-year-old man who had undergone bypass from the distal aortic arch to the proximal descending thoracic aorta with a Dacron graft to treat coarctation of the aorta 20 years prior presented to the emergency department with massive hemoptysis.

Background Aortopathy is common with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), and underlying intrinsic tissue abnormalities are believed causative. Valve‐mediated hemodynamics are altered in BAV and may contribute to aortopathy and its progression. The contribution of intrinsic tissue defects versus altered hemodynamics to aortopathy progression is not known ...

Two stage hybrid approach for complex aortic coarctation repair
Background Management of an adult patient with aortic coarctation and an associated cardiac pathology poses a great surgical challenge since there are no standard guidelines for the therapy of such complex pathology.
