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.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the growth and rupture rates of small abdominal aortic aneurysms: implications for surveillance intervals and their cost-effectiveness. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs; 3.0-5.4 cm in diameter) are usually asymptomatic and managed by regular ultrasound surveillance until they grow to a diameter threshold (commonly 5.5 cm) at which surgical intervention is considered ...

Diagnostic accuracy of mediastinal width measurement on posteroanterior and anteroposterior chest radiographs in the depiction of acute nontraumatic thoracic aortic dissection [PDF]
We aimed to explore the diagnostic accuracy of various mediastinal measurements in determining acute nontraumatic thoracic aortic dissection with respect to posteroanterior (PA) and anteroposterior (AP) chest radiographs, which had received little ...

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 ...
