mTOR inhibition prevents angiotensin II–induced aortic rupture and pseudoaneurysm but promotes dissection in Apoe-deficient mice [PDF]
JCI Insight, 2022 Aortic dissection and rupture are triggered by decreased vascular wall strength and/or increased mechanical loads. We investigated the role of mTOR signaling in aortopathy using a well-described model of angiotensin II–induced dissection, aneurysm, or ...

Angiotensin II Induces Aortic Rupture and Dissection in Osteoprotegerin-Deficient Mice. [PDF]
J Am Heart Assoc, 2022 Background: The biological mechanism of action for osteoprotegerin (OPG), a soluble decoy receptor for the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) in the vascular structure, has not been elucidated.

Biomechanical and biochemical properties of the thoracic aorta in warmblood horses, Friesian horses, and Friesians with aortic rupture [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2015 Background: Thoracic aortic rupture and aortopulmonary fistulation are rare conditions in horses. It mainly affects Friesian horses. Intrinsic differences in biomechanical properties of the aortic wall might predispose this breed.

Aortic rupture during STABILISE (stent-assisted balloon-induced intimal disruption and relamination in aortic dissection repair) technique [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2023 The STABILISE (stent-assisted balloon-induced intimal disruption and relamination in aortic dissection repair) technique has shown promising results for treating type B aortic dissections, but the potential exists for fatal adverse effects.
