Transforming growth factor serum concentrations in patients with proven non-syndromic aortopathy
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 BackgroundThe mechanism underlying aortic dilatation is still unknown. Vascular dilatation is thought to be the result of progressive aortic media degeneration caused by defective vascular matrix hemostasis, including TGF-β1 dysregulation.

Intraluminal mass of the ascending aorta [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2012 A 53-year-old truck-driver, symptomatic for headache, was diagnosed [computed tomography (CT) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI)] with a 4 cm intraluminal aortic mass arising 3.5 cm above the sinu-tubular junction (Fig. 1A and B and Supplementary Video 1). After epiaortic ultrasound scanning (Fig. 2A and Supplementary Video 1), the ascending

Strategy for Porcelain Ascending Aorta in Cardiac Surgery.
Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2018 Aging of the population and the increase in patients on dialysis have led to an increasing frequency of “porcelain aorta” (subtotal circumferential calcification of the ascending aorta) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.1) Porcelain aorta is ...
