Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2019 Background Diseases of the descending aorta have emerged as a clinical issue in Marfan syndrome following improvements in proximal aorta surgical treatment and the consequent increase in life expectancy. Although a role for hemodynamic alterations in the

Saccular aneurysm formation of the descending aorta associated with aortic coarctation in an infant
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2014 Aneurysm of the descending aorta associated with CoA is an extremely rare congenital abnormality. In this report, we present a 16 months old female patient in whom cardiac catheterization had been performed which had revealed a segment of coarctation and

Non-invasive diagnostics of blockage growth in the descending aorta-computational approach. [PDF]
Med Biol Eng Comput, 2022 Atherosclerosis causes blockages to the main arteries such as the aorta preventing blood flow from delivering oxygen to the organs. Non-invasive diagnosis of these blockages is difficult, particularly in primary healthcare.

Fluid–structure interaction simulations outperform computational fluid dynamics in the description of thoracic aorta haemodynamics and in the differentiation of progressive dilation in Marfan syndrome patients [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Abnormal fluid dynamics at the ascending aorta may be at the origin of aortic aneurysms. This study was aimed at comparing the performance of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and fluid–structure interaction (FSI) simulations against four-dimensional ...

Influence of Differential Calcification in the Descending Thoracic Aorta on Aortic Pulse Pressure
Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews, 2017 Purpose: Multiple studies have shown pulse pressure (PP) to be a strong predictor of aortic calcification. However, no studies are available that correlate PP with aortic calcification at the segmental level.
