Body mass index is an independent predictor of acute kidney injury after urgent aortic arch surgery for acute DeBakey Type I aortic dissection

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2021
Background Aortic arch surgery and obesity are both related to the risk of acute kidney injury. Our hypothesis was that the risk of postoperative acute kidney injury increases as body mass index increases in patients undergoing urgent aortic total arch ...

Extracellular matrix composition and remodeling in human abdominal aortic aneurysms: a proteomics approach. [PDF]

, 2011
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are characterized by pathological remodeling of the aortic extracellular matrix (ECM). However, besides the well-characterized elastolysis and collagenolysis little is known about changes in other ECM proteins.
