Mechanical characterisation of the human thoracic descending aorta: experiments and modelling

Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, 2012
This work presents experiments and modelling aimed at characterising the passive mechanical behaviour of the human thoracic descending aorta. To this end, uniaxial tension and pressurisation tests on healthy samples corresponding to newborn, young and ...

Clinical Impact of Concordant and Discordant Physiology Parameters Post‐Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in the EASY‐PREDICT Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In the EASY‐PREDICT Study, patients were randomized to angiography‐guidance or post‐percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) physiology‐guidance. Discordance between resting and hyperemic physiology post‐PCI might have a different relationship with clinical outcomes.

Staged open surgery for bicuspid aortic valve regurgitation and coarctation of the aorta in a Jehovah’s witness

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020
Background Jehovah’s Witnesses refuse allogeneic blood transfusions, which makes cardiovascular surgery challenging. Surgeons must minimize blood and fluid loss within one procedure.

The Thigh Saphenous Vein Versus the Calf Saphenous Vein: Searching for the Optimal Conduit for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The quality of saphenous vein (SV) grafts can vary depending on the site from which they are harvested. However, few studies have compared SV grafts harvested from the thigh with those harvested from the calf to explore which is more appropriate for use in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In this study, we evaluated the graft

Guidewire Manipulation Based on Establishment of Stereo Perception in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Traditional percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) relies on two‐dimensional X‐ray imaging, but this does not allow depth perception and complicates precise manipulation of the guidewire. Our purpose was to develop a novel method for guidewire manipulation by establishing stereoscopic perception in coronary angiography (CAG), as ...

Intentional Stent Fracture to Accommodate Growth After Coarctation Stenting in an 860‐g Neonate

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Congenital aortic coarctation in neonates and children can be managed with transcatheter stent implantation, but this approach raises the issue of how to accommodate the fixed stent structure within the growing vessel. Case Summary A 15‐month‐old boy, born prematurely with critical aortic coarctation, was treated at 1 week of age ...

A case of a highly tortuous descending thoracic aortic aneurysm treated by surgical exclusion

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2020
The patient was a 76-year-old woman with an atypical descending thoracic aortic aneurysm due to a highly tortuous descending aorta. The surgical approach in this case required special consideration because of the aneurysm’s location. The main body of the

Atherosclerosis of the descending aorta predicts cardiovascular events: a transesophageal echocardiography study

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2004
Purpose Previous studies have shown that atherosclerosis of the descending aorta detected by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a good marker of coexisting coronary artery disease.
