Emergency department point-of-care ultrasound diagnosis of active bleeding into the intraluminal thrombus of an abdominal aortic aneurysm

Radiology Case Reports, 2023
Rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an immediately life-threatening phenomenon with substantial mortality. Although most AAAs are asymptomatic, an impending AAA rupture can be heralded by nonspecific symptoms and imaging findings on CT and ...

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]

, 2013
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 ...

Patients at Risk for Aortic Rupture Often Exposed to Fluoroquinolones during Hospitalization

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2018
Several studies have indicated that fluoroquinolone use may be associated with an increased risk of aortic aneurysm or dissection (AAD). Because patients with AAD or Marfan syndrome are at increased risk for aortic rupture, we performed a retrospective ...

Successful hybrid management of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm induced by type II and IIIB endoleaks after endovascular aortic repair

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2019
Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm after endovascular abdominal aortic repair is a relatively rare condition. The management of this type of a rupture is challenging and controversial.

A novel combined fluid dynamic and strain analysis approach identified abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2020
Clinical decision-making for surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms based on maximum aortic diameter presents limitations as rupture can occur below threshold for some aneurysms, whereas others are stable at large sizes.

Endovascular repair for acute traumatic transection of the descending thoracic aorta: experience of a single centre with a 12-years follow up [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Most blunt aortic injuries occur in the proximal proximal descending aorta causing acute transection of this vessel. Generally, surgical repair of the ruptured segment of aorta is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality and in

TGF-β Neutralization Enhances AngII-Induced Aortic Rupture and Aneurysm in Both Thoracic and Abdominal Regions

PLoS ONE, 2016
AngII and TGF-β interact in development of thoracic and abdominal aortic diseases, although there are many facets of this interaction that have not been clearly defined. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of TGF-β neutralization on

Thoracic Saccular Aortic Aneurysm Presenting with Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Palsy prior to Aneurysm Rupture: A Prodrome of Thoracic Aneurysm Rupture?

Case Reports in Otolaryngology, 2012
Left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy rarely results from cardiac disease. We present 2 cases of left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy caused by thoracic saccular aortic aneurysms.

Balloon Rupture during Pre-Dilation for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with a Bicuspid Aortic Valve: Classification, Treatment Strategies, and Prevention

Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications, 2023
Balloon rupture during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a rare but serious complication. Here, we present two cases of balloon rupture in patients with severe aortic stenosis and type 0 bicuspid aortic valves.

Emerging pharmacological treatments to prevent abdominal aortic aneurysm growth and rupture [PDF]

, 2015
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a local expansion of the abdominal aorta wall caused by a complex multifactorial maladaptive vascular remodeling. Despite recent advances in the management of cardiovascular diseases, there currently is no established ...
