Aortic stiffness and diameter predict progressive aortic dilatation in patients with Marfan syndrome

, 2004
Aim Patients with Marfan syndrome may develop dissection due to progressive dilatation in the entire aorta, which is not always predictable by mere anatomic assessment of the aortic diameter, especially of the descending aorta.

Hybrid debranching and TEVAR of the aortic arch off-pump, in re-do patients with complicated chronic type-A aortic dissections : a critical report [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Patients suffering from acute type A aortic dissection undergo replacement of the ascending aorta, the proximal hemiarch or complete aortic arch, depending on the extent of the individual pathology.

An alternate solution for the treatment of ascending aortic aneurysms: the wrapping technique

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2010
Background The aortic Dacron wrapping technique is a surgical technique used under certain circumstances in cases of ascending aorta dilatation. Herein, we are presenting our experience on the method performed on multimorbid patients who denied major ...

Ascending aortic dilatation is rarely associated with coronary artery disease regardless of aortic valve morphology [PDF]

, 2014
ObjectiveDifferences in clinical presentation between patients with tricuspid aortic valves (TAVs) or bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs) and aortic valve disease are evident.

Diabetes attenuated age‐related aortic root dilatation in end‐stage renal disease patients receiving peritoneal dialysis

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, 2019
Aims/Introduction Recently, some data have supported the concept that diabetes is negatively associated with aortic aneurysm. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between diabetes and cardiac structural and functional ...

Proximal aortic diameter evolution in hypertensive patients with mild-to-moderate aortic dilatation: a 5-year follow-up experience

, 2020
BACKGROUND: Aortic dilatation is common in hypertensive patients and is associated with higher risk of cardiovascular events. Parameters predicting further dilatation during lifetime are poorly understood.

Bicuspid Valve Aortopathy: Is It Reasonable to Define a Different Surgical Cutoff Based on Different Aortic Wall Mechanical Properties Compared to Those of the Tricuspid Valve?

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Background: In this study, we examined and compared ex vivo mechanical properties of aortic walls in patients with bicuspid (BAV) and tricuspid (TAV) aortic valve aortopathy to investigate if the anatomical peculiarities in the BAV group are related to ...

Reduced Aortic Elasticity and Dilatation Are Associated With Aortic Regurgitation and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Nonstenotic Bicuspid Aortic Valve Patients [PDF]

, 2007
ObjectivesThis study sought to assess elasticity and dimensions of the aorta and their impact on aortic valve competence and left ventricular (LV) function in patients with a nonstenotic bicuspid aortic valve (BAV).BackgroundIntrinsic pathology of the ...

Aortic Dilatation in Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2018
Although the high prevalence of aortic root dilatation in adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) is well established [(1,2)][1], evidence to guide clinical follow-up and decision making remains sparse.
