Relationship between Serum Gamma-glutamyl Transferase Levels with Ascending Aortic Dilatation
Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2019 Objective: Increased serum gamma-glutamyl transferase levels (GGT) have been shown to directly promote oxidative stress. Previous studies have shown the relationship between the dilatation of the ascending aorta and oxidative stress.

Surgery for autoimmune aortitis: unanswered questions
The Cardiothoracic Surgeon, 2019 Background The aorta is rarely affected by autoimmune vasculitis, which can lead to aortic dilatation requiring surgery. Autoimmune aortitis may affect one aortic segment or the entire aorta, and in some cases, the aorta may be affected at different time
