No beneficial effect of general and specific anti-inflammatory therapies on aortic dilatation in Marfan mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
AIMS:Patients with Marfan syndrome have an increased risk of life-threatening aortic complications, mostly preceded by aortic dilatation. In the FBN1(C1039G/+) Marfan mouse model, losartan decreases aortic root dilatation.

Arterial hypertension and aortic root dilatation: an unsolved mystery

Italian Journal of Medicine, 2013
Introduction: Acute and chronic aortic syndromes are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Silent risk factors such as arterial hypertension and aortic root dilatation can increase the likelihood of aortic dissection or rupture.

Morphologic predictors of aortic dilatation in type B aortic dissection [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2013
Conservative management of acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) is often associated with aortic dilatation during follow-up increasing the risk of aortic rupture. The goal of this study was to investigate whether morphologic characteristics of the dissection can predict aortic growth.All conservatively managed ABAD patients from four referral centers ...

Demographical and Clinical Factors Predictive for Aortic Dilatation. When should we be Concerned about the Size? [PDF]

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
Background: Thoracic aortic aneurysms are often an accidental finding and result from a degenerative process. Medical therapy includes pharmacological control of arterial hypertension and smoking cessation, that slows the growth of aneurysms.

Bicuspid Aortic Valve Associated With Aortic Dilatation [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2003
Objective— This study was undertaken to examine the association between bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and aortic dilatation in the community. The association between BAV and aortic dilatation has been reported predominantly in retrospective studies in patients mostly with valvular dysfunction or ...

Successful percutaneous balloon dilatation of supravalvular aortic membrane

Heart Views, 2019
Supravalvular aortic stenosis is the least common type of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Primary balloon dilatation of membranous supravalvular aortic stenosis was performed in a 10-year-old male child with a remarkable reduction in systolic

Is there a role for angiotensin II–receptor blockers for ascending aorta dilatation in pediatric patients with normally functioning bicuspid aortic valve?

International Journal of Cardiology Congenital Heart Disease, 2022
Background: Currently there are no data regarding medical therapy of aortic dilatation in pediatric patients with normally functioning bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). Aim of the study was to describe the rates of change of aortic root diameters in untreated
