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 ...

Aortic Root Dilatation in Children and Adolescents At Al-Hawary General Hospital, & National Benghazi Cardiac Center -Libya

مجلة المختار للعلوم, 2021
Isolated dilatation of the aortic root and/or ascending aorta is a rare but well-known cardiovascular manifestation, can be caused by a variety of congenital or acquired conditions; that lead to the weakening of the aortic wall.

Extensive aortic prosthesis dilatation [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2012
Figure 1: A CT scan 2 years (A) and 14 years (B) after the initial aortic repair. It shows the enlarged prosthesis diameter of 42 mm (black dotted arrows), which has remained stable over time. Compared with the original dimension, the cross-sectional area of the prosthesis increased by 96%, and the prosthesis wall tension by 40%.

Root Dilatation Is More Malignant Than Ascending Aortic Dilation [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association, 2021
Background Data from the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection indicate that the guideline criterion of 5.5 cm for ascending aortic intervention misses many dissections occurring at smaller dimensions.

Donor aortic root dilation [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Cardiology, 2009
A patient underwent heart transplantation for dilated cardiomyopathy 17 years previously. The donor was a 14-year-old girl with no known cardiovascular disease. In 2005, on routine imaging, the patient was found to have an ascending aortic aneurysm. The condition progressed over the next three years, leading to moderate aortic insufficiency and severe ...

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.

Pravastatin Reduces Marfan Aortic Dilation [PDF]

Circulation, 2011
Background— The sequelae of aortic root dilation are the lethal consequences of Marfan syndrome. The root dilation is attributable to an imbalance between deposition of matrix elements and metalloproteinases in the aortic medial layer as a result of excessive transforming growth factor-beta signaling.

Dilated aortic root is related to a global aortic dilating diathesis [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2010
The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between the dilatation of the aortic root and the diameters of the rest of the aorta and to identify some related factors that could be used to identify patients at higher risk of presenting with an aortic aneurysm.In 71 consecutive patients with a dilated aortic root identified by transthoracic ...
