Aortic Neck Dilatation Following Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2021
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has become a mainstay of treatment for a variety of thoracic aortic pathologies. Expansion of the proximal aortic neck after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms has been demonstrated; however, dilatation of the proximal aortic neck after TEVAR has not been well described.

Aortic Dilatation in Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease

Revista Española de Cardiología (English Edition), 2012
La valvula aortica bicuspide (VAB) es la anomalia cardiaca congenita mas comun, con una incidencia de un 0,5-1,4% de la poblacion. De forma esporadica, esta anomalia se transmite geneticamente segun un patron de herencia autosomico dominante, con un predominio en varones de 3:1.

Aortic dilation in pediatric patients

European Journal of Pediatrics, 2015
Aortic dilation at the level of the aortic root can be caused by a variety of congenital or acquired conditions that lead to weakening of the aortic wall. In this retrospective study, we sought to determine the frequency of different associated diagnoses from children with aortic dilation seen at a single institution. A total of 377 children (68 % male)

Aortic dilatation in Cockayne syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2007
AbstractCockayne syndrome is a rare growth failure and premature aging disorder featuring abnormal ultraviolet sensitivity and impaired transcription‐coupled DNA repair. Cardiac involvement has not been described in Cockayne patients except for one recently described case of dilated cardiomyopathy. We describe one patient in whom marked ascending aorta

Abdominal Aortic Dilatation in Japanese Residents

International Journal of Angiology, 1999
The correlation between abdominal aortic dilatation and arteriosclerotic risk factors was studied in 2514 Japanese residents (947 men, 1567 women, mean age 70 years old). The aortic diameter was measured by ultrasound and an aortic dilatation was defined as above 30 mm in diameter, including abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

Aortic dilatation in patients with bicuspid aortic valve

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2006
The association of a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) with abnormalities of the proximal thoracic aorta, including dilatation, aneurysm and dissection, has been previously described, leading to the hypothesis of a common underlying developmental defect involving the aortic valve and the aortic wall.

Aortic Valve Dilation

2009
In aortic stenosis the valve is most often bicuspid with a single fused commissure, either the intercoronary or right and noncoronary commissure. Less frequently, it is unicommissural, with an orifice at the left and noncoronary commissure (1). The course of left-sided disease is quite different from that of the right side.

Approach to the dilated aortic root

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2004
The dilated aortic root is often completely asymptomatic and found incidentally on routine imaging studies such as chest radiograph, echocardiography, chest computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging. The dilated aortic root may be associated with underlying aortic valve abnormalities as seen with bicuspid aortic valve.

Aortic root dilation in acromegaly

BMJ Case Reports
Previous studies have linked persistent elevations in growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) to cardiac abnormalities including aortic root dilation. Guidelines in the management of this dilation below the size recommended for surgery have not been well defined but follow-up and intervention when appropriate could be life-saving ...

Clinical significance of aortic graft dilation

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1991
To determine if there is a relationship between aortic graft dilation and graft complications, 443 serial ultrasound studies performed on 106 patients were analyzed. Of 443 studies, 243 were done retrospectively on 59 patients from 3 to 144 months (mean, 38 months) after graft implantation.
