Rupturing aortic dissection [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2011
A 46-year-old male was transferred to the emergency department of our hospital because of severe back pain. After physical exam and abdominal ultrasound exam, an aortic dissection was suspected. The patient subsequently underwent a multidetector row computed tomographic (CT) angiography of the aorta (Somatom Definition, Siemens AG, Medical Solutions ...

Fluid-structure instability forecasts thoracic aortic aneurysm progression [PDF]

Nat. Biomed. Eng 7, 1614-1626 (2023), 2021
The basic mechanism driving aneurysm growth is unknown. Currently, clinical diagnosis of an aneurysm is mainly informed by retrospective tracking of its size and growth rate. However, aneurysms can rupture before reactive criteria are met or remain stable when they are exceeded.

Aortic Pseudo aneurysm 3 Years after Interposition Tube Graft for Acute Dissection of Ascending Aorta [PDF]

Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Medicine, 2019
Introduction: Patients with primary acute aortic dissection are at higher risk of complications, including increasing aortic aneurysm diameter, aortic rupture, aortic pseudo aneurysm, and recurrent aortic dissection.

Endovascular Salvage for Traumatic Midthoracic Aortic Rupture with Left Diaphragmatic Injury [PDF]

Journal of Trauma and Injury, 2018
Patients with traumatic aortic rupture rarely reach the hospital alive. Even among those who arrive at the hospital alive, traumatic aortic rupture after high-speed motor vehicle accidents leads to a high in-hospital mortality rate and is associated with

Critical Role of Cytosolic DNA and Its Sensing Adaptor STING in Aortic Degeneration, Dissection, and Rupture

Circulation, 2020
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background: Sporadic aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD), caused by progressive aortic smooth muscle cell (SMC) loss and extracellular matrix degradation, is a highly lethal condition.

Endovascular repair of aortic rupture [PDF]

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2003
To report a single centre experience with endovascular repair of ruptures of the descending thoracic and abdominal aorta.Retrospective non-randomised study in a university hospital.Between February 1997 and October 2002, endovascular repair of the aorta was performed on 125 occasions. In 20 cases, this was done as an emergency (nine ruptured infrarenal

Endovascular Treatment of an Aortic Traumatic Double Rupture [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2015
Traumatic thoracic aortic rupture is a life-threatening condition; aortic isthmus is the most common site of rupture, but in rare cases traumatic injury can localize elsewhere, such as at aortic arch or at the level of the diaphragm.

Stochastic Modeling of Inhomogeneities in the Aortic Wall and Uncertainty Quantification using a Bayesian Encoder-Decoder Surrogate [PDF]

, 2022
Inhomogeneities in the aortic wall can lead to localized stress accumulations, possibly initiating dissection. In many cases, a dissection results from pathological changes such as fragmentation or loss of elastic fibers. But it has been shown that even the healthy aortic wall has an inherent heterogeneous microstructure.
