Placement of an aortomonoiliac stent graft without femorofemoral revascularization in endovascular aneurysm repair: a case report [PDF]
Introduction: Endovascular aortic repair, if technically feasible, is the treatment of choice for patients with a contained ruptured aortic aneurysm who are unfit for open surgery. Case presentation: We report the case of an 80-year-old Caucasian man who

MCP-1, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 are present in early aneurysmal dilatation in experimental rats.
Recent studies have suggested that inflammation actively participates in ascending aortic aneurysm formation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression changes of adhesion molecules and MMPs in an experimental model of ascending aortic ...

High-intensity interval exercise training before abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (HIT-AAA): protocol for a randomised controlled feasibility trial [PDF]
Introduction: In patients with large abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), open surgical or endovascular aneurysm repair procedures are often used to minimise the risk of aneurysm-related rupture and death; however, aneurysm repair itself carries a high risk.

MicroRNAs in ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms [PDF]
AbstractThoracic Aortic Aneurysm (TAA) is characterized by the dilation of the aorta and is fatal if not diagnosed and treated appropriately. The underlying genetic mechanisms have not been completely delineated, so better knowledge of the physiopathology of TAAs is needed to improve detection and therapy.

Late detachment of ascending aortic graft mimicking pseudoaneurysm and dissection: A case report
Ascending aorta aneurysm is a pathological dilatation of the aortic wall which needs in most cases surgical treatment.Complications after surgery are usually rare events and include infections, bleeding, and pseudoaneurysm.We present a report of a late ...

Aortic aneurysm is commonly defined as a localized, permanent aortic dilation diameter of 50% or greater than normal, and is contained by all the layers of the normal aortic wall. Degeneration of the elastic media is the most common biologic cause of aneurysm formation, but congenital syndromes such as bicuspid aorta disease, Marfan syndrome, Ehlers ...

Gigantic ascending aortic aneurysm with consequently severe aortic regurgitation and dilatated cardiomyopathy: a case report [PDF]
Introduction: An ascending aortic aneurysm is defined as localized dilatation of aorta. We classify thoracic aortic aneurysms into aortic root or ascending aortic aneurysms (most common, ≈60%), followed by descending aortic aneurysms (≈35%) and aneurysms

Geography, private costs and uptake of screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm in a remote rural area. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The relationship between geographical location, private costs, health provider costs and uptake of health screening is unclear. This paper examines these relationships in a screening programme for abdominal aortic aneurysm in the Highlands ...
