Syphilitic aneurysm of the ascending aorta [PDF]

open access: yesInteractive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2011
Syphilitic aortic aneurysm is a rare occurrence in the antibiotic era, making the diagnose assumption even more infrequent. Nonetheless, this pathology can appear and should be suspected in patients with aortic aneurysm. We report a case of a 57-year old patient who presents with neurosyphilis and, in the following study, a large ascending aorta ...

Epithelioid hemangioma of the ascending aorta: A rare case

open access: yesIndian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2022
Cardiac epithelioid hemangioma is extremely rare. Currently, there are only a few described cases of intraluminal hemangiomas of the aorta and the aortic valve and no described cases with extraluminal epithelioid hemangiomas of the ascending aorta.

Altered DNA methylation indicates an oscillatory flow mediated epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition signature in ascending aorta of patients with bicuspid aortic valve

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Disturbed flow has been suggested to contribute to aneurysm susceptibility in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients. Lately, flow has emerged as an important modulator of DNA methylation.

Inflammatory aneurysm of the ascending aorta [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2006
Inflammatory aneurysms of the aorta are usually seen in the infrarenal abdominal aorta and very rarely in the ascending aorta. We present the case of a 76-year-old male with inflammatory aneurysm of the ascending aorta.

Old Myths, New Concerns: the Long-Term Effects of Ascending Aorta Replacement with Dacron Grafts. Not All That Glitters Is Gold

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Translational Research, 2016
Synthetic grafts are widely used in cardiac and vascular surgery since the mid-1970s. Despite their general good performance, inability of mimicking the elastomechanical characteristics of the native arterial tissue, and the consequent lack of adequate ...

Failure of the Porcine Ascending Aorta: Multidirectional Experiments and a Unifying Microstructural Model.

open access: yesJournal of Biomechanical Engineering, 2017
The ascending thoracic aorta is poorly understood mechanically, especially its risk of dissection. To make better predictions of dissection risk, more information about the multidimensional failure behavior of the tissue is needed, and this information ...

Tuberculous pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ Case Reports, 2015
Increase in the incidence of drug resistance and association with HIV has led to a resurgence of tuberculosis. However, tubercular arteritis continues to remain a rare entity with a prelidection for the thoracic aorta. We report a tubercular ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm in a patient already on treatment for disseminated tuberculosis who underwent ...

Biologically‐Inspired Melt Electrowriting for the Generation of Highly Biomimetic Functional Myocardium

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, melt electrowriting is used to fabricate a 3D printed scaffold design that generates engineered cardiac tissues with in‐plane contraction, mimicking natural myocardium. It is shown that these tissues display advanced maturation and functionality.

Ascending aorta thoracic endovascular aortic repair for infected pseudoaneurysm

open access: yesJournal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2022
A 70-year-old woman with a bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement for aortic valve endocarditis complicated by recurrent endocarditis and requiring homograft aortic root replacement 10 years earlier had presented at 1 month after her admission for ...
