Carotid artery dissection linked to intermittent apnoeic swimming: A case–control study
Abstract Internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection is a rare and potentially devastating cause of cerebral ischaemia, initiated by an intimal tear or rupture of the vasa vasorum, that can lead to an intraluminal thrombus, vascular stenosis, occlusion, or dissecting aneurysm formation.

Computational analysis to assess hemodynamic forces in descending thoracic aortic aneurysms
Abstract figure legend Left: Pre‐processing. First, we perform the segmentation of the Computer Tomography angiorgraphy (angio‐CT) scans of a healthy patient, obtaining the surface of a healthy thoracic aorta with a Type III aortic arch. Then, we build nine ideal configurations with Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (DTAA), varying the aortic arch ...

Is arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy a paediatric problem too? [PDF]
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a heart muscle disease that is often familial, characterized by arrhythmias of right ventricular origin, due to transmural fatty or fibrofatty replacement of atrophic myocardium. ARVC is usually

Association of Cystic Medial Necrosis of the Aorta and Undiagnosed Thyroiditis [Scripta Medica] [PDF]
We have recently seen two patients with cystic medial necrosis of the aorta. The first patient died of a dissecting aneurysm of the thoracic aorta. At autopsy, classical Hashimoto’s thyroiditis was discovered.

Treatment Intensification in Patients With Kawasaki Disease and Coronary Aneurysm at Diagnosis. [PDF]
BackgroundCoronary artery aneurysms (CAA) are a serious complication of Kawasaki disease. Treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) within 10 days of fever onset reduces the risk of CAA from 25% to <5%.

MYH11 variants in thoracic aortic aneurysm pathophysiology: From bench to bedside
Thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (TAAD) are often asymptomatic until rupture or dissection, which are associated with high mortality. Around 20% of cases of TAAD show familial segregation; some of these are linked to pathogenic variants in vascular smooth muscle cell contractile genes, like MYH11.
