Unexpected limited chronic dissection of the ascending aorta
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2008 We report a rare case of a limited chronic dissection of the ascending aorta that was accidentally discovered at operation performed for severe aortic stenosis and moderate to severe dilatation of the ascending aorta.

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.

Penetrating Ulcer of the Ascending Aorta
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2011 ![Figure][1] A 77-year-old woman underwent coronary artery bypass grafting in 2002. The surgeon noted a mass on the ascending aorta, adjacent to the innominate artery. He performed an off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting procedure to avoid manipulation of the aorta.

Dill extract induces elastic fiber neosynthesis and functional improvement in the ascending aorta of aged mice with reversal of age-dependent cardiac hypertrophy and involvement of lysyl oxidase-like-1 [PDF]
, 2020 Elastic fibers (90% elastin, 10% fibrillin-rich microfibrils) are synthesized only in early life and adolescence mainly by the vascular smooth muscle cells through the cross-linking of its soluble precursor, tropoelastin.

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 ...

Aortic stenting in the growing sheep causes aortic endothelial dysfunction but not hypertension: Clinical implications for coarctation repair [PDF]
, 2016 Stent implantation is the treatment of choice for adolescents and adults with aortic coarctation (CoAo). Despite excellent short-term results, 20%-40% of the patients develop arterial hypertension later in life, which was attributed to inappropriate ...
