Computational Simulations for Aortic Coarctation: Representative Results From a Sampling of Patients [PDF]
, 2011 Treatments for coarctation of the aorta (CoA) can alleviate blood pressure (BP) gradients(D), but long-term morbidity still exists that can be explained by altered indices of hemodynamics and biomechanics.

Helical flow in tortuous aortas and its relationship to turbulence: A whole-aorta 4D flow MRI study
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 BackgroundIncreased vascular tortuosity is a hallmark of ageing of the vascular system, including the aorta. However, the impact of tortuosity on aortic blood flow is unknown.

Extra Anatomic Bypass of Coarctation of the Aorta in an Adolescent: Avoiding Spinal Cord Ischemia
MAMC Journal of Medical Sciences, 2015 Coarctation of the aorta in an adult patient often requires extra-anatomic bypass techniques. Posterior pericardial bypass technique is one among the various techniques that has been described where a Dacron conduit is anastomosed between the lateral ...

Tuberculous aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1987 Tuberculous aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta is a rare entity. To our knowledge the present case is the sixth on record to have been successfully treated surgically. These aneurysms present the usual difficulties of surgical therapy of the thoracic aorta: spinal cord and renal circulatory protection and the choice between distant or in situ ...

Quantification of Local Hemodynamic Alterations Caused by Virtual Implantation of Three Commercially Available Stents for the Treatment of Aortic Coarctation [PDF]
, 2013 Patients with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) are prone to morbidity including atherosclerotic plaque that has been shown to correlate with altered wall shear stress (WSS) in the descending thoracic aorta (dAo).
