Rupturing aortic dissection [PDF]
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]
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.

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

Endovascular repair of aortic rupture [PDF]
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]
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]
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.

Atraumatic aortic rupture as a consequence of penetrating aortic atherosclerotic ulcer rupture [PDF]
A woman in her 70s with rheumatoid arthritis presented to the emergency department with progressive dysnoea and sharp chest pain radiating to her back over the preceding day. No recent thoracic trauma was recollected. Examination demonstrated frailty, hypotension with a mean arterial pressure of 50, normal heart sounds and reduced air entry at the ...
