mTOR inhibition prevents angiotensin II–induced aortic rupture and pseudoaneurysm but promotes dissection in Apoe-deficient mice [PDF]
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 ...

Aortic rupture during STABILISE (stent-assisted balloon-induced intimal disruption and relamination in aortic dissection repair) technique [PDF]
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.

Abdominal aortic rupture after extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy: A rare case report and literature review [PDF]
Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a common and effective treatment method for most renal and upper ureteral calculi. Aortic rupture after ESWL is an extremely rare complication.
