Acute type B aortic dissection in the absence of aortic dilatation [PDF]

, 2012
BackgroundIncreasing aortic diameter is thought to be an important risk factor for acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD). However, some patients develop ABAD in the absence of aortic dilatation. In this report, we sought to characterize ABAD patients who

Aortic neck dilatation after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: a word of caution [PDF]

, 2008
Continuing aortic neck dilatation, most probably an expression of ongoing aneurysmal wall degeneration of the infrarenal aortic segment, has been shown to seriously impair clinical results after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

Transforming growth factor serum concentrations in patients with proven non-syndromic aortopathy

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundThe mechanism underlying aortic dilatation is still unknown. Vascular dilatation is thought to be the result of progressive aortic media degeneration caused by defective vascular matrix hemostasis, including TGF-β1 dysregulation.

Eyes wide shut - unusual two stage repair of pectus excavatum and annuloaortic ectasia in a 37 year old marfan patient: Case report [PDF]

, 2011
We report about a 37 year old male patient with a pectus excavatum. The patient was in NYHA functional class III. After performed computed tomography the symptoms were thought to be related to the severity of chest deformation.

The bicuspid aortic valve and its relation to aortic dilation [PDF]

Clinics, 2010
A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital heart disease, which affects 1-2% of the population. However, the relationship between BAVs and aortic dilation has not been sufficiently elucidated.A total of 241 BAV patients who were referred to this hospital for cardiac surgery over a 4.75-year period were included in this study.

Collegiate Wrestler With a Bicuspid Aortic Valve and Aortic Dilation

JACC: Case Reports, 2022
Bicuspid aortic valve and aortopathy are generally considered contraindications to isometric exercise. For athletes with mild disease at low risk of adverse events, a shared decision-making approach for continued sports participation is reasonable. We present a case of a collegiate wrestler with bicuspid aortic valve and aortopathy to illustrate shared

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.
