aCTA structured reporting of aortic dissection and updated knowledge required by radiologists

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
The development of Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) has greatly enhanced the diagnosis of aortic dissection (AD). However, there is currently no comprehensive reporting requirement for the diagnosis of AD. Structured reporting templates are becoming

Safety and effectiveness of the sutureless integrated stented graft prosthesis in an animal model

Heliyon
Background: Prolonged circulatory arrest time is an independent risk factor for postoperative adverse events of type A aortic dissection (TAAD) surgery. Further reduction of the circulatory arrest time is essential to improve surgical outcomes.

Consumption coagulopathy in acute aortic dissection: principles of management

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2017
Background The effect of acute aortic dissection itself on coagulopathy or surgery-related coagulopathy has never been specifically studied. The aim of the present study was to perioperatively describe consumption coagulopathy in patients with acute ...

Raman Microscopy at the Organic–Inorganic Interfaces in Human Calcified Aortic Valves Shows the Co‐Existence of Whitlockite Crystals and Carbonated Hydroxyapatite‐Mineralized Collagen Fibrils

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study advances our understanding of aortic valve stenosis by capturing spatially resolved chemical and structural changes at the nanoscale. The findings highlight the potential of combined Raman and electron microscopy for understanding calcification mechanisms across diverse tissue types.

From Clinic to Computation: Multiscale Bioengineering Strategies for Durable Biological Aortic Valve Replacements

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioprosthetic aortic valves have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, but their durability is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD). This review focuses on the pericardial tissue at the heart of these valves, examining how its mechanical properties and calcification drive fatigue and failure.
