Aortic Coarctation: Recent Developments in Experimental and Computational Methods to Assess Treatments for this Simple Condition [PDF]
, 2010 Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is often considered a relatively simple disease, but long-term outcomes suggest otherwise as life expectancies are decades less than in the average population and substantial morbidity often exists.

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 ...

Syphilitic aneurysm of the ascending aorta [PDF]
Interactive 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 ...

Automatic Segmentation of Thoracic Aorta Segments in Low-Dose Chest CT
, 2018 Morphological analysis and identification of pathologies in the aorta are important for cardiovascular diagnosis and risk assessment in patients. Manual annotation is time-consuming and cumbersome in CT scans acquired without contrast enhancement and ...

Thoracic aorta cardiac-cycle related dynamic changes assessed with a 256-slice CT scanner [PDF]
, 2013 Objective: The aim of our study was to demonstrate whether the dynamic changes previously documented at the ascending and abdominal aorta are replicated at the thoracic aorta.
