Downregulation of Filamin a Expression in the Aorta Is Correlated With Aortic Dissection
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Filamins (FLNs) are actin cross-linking proteins, and as scaffolding proteins, FLNs are closely associated with the stabilization of the cytoskeleton. Nevertheless, the biological importance of FLNs in aortic dissection (AD) has not been well-elucidated.

Totally endoscopic non-robotic excision of aortic valve fibroelastoma: a case report
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2022 Background Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are a rare subtype of benign primary cardiac tumours, which are most commonly found on the aortic valve. Although median sternotomy is still used frequently there has been different attempts to remove the aortic

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1990 The results of combined heart-lung transplantation have continued to improve following its reintroduction into clinical practice in 1981. En-bloc implantation has an apparent protective effect on subsequent tracheal anastomotic healing. Continuing developments in immunosuppression, rejection surveillance, and organ preservation will allow the procedure

BRD4770 functions as a novel ferroptosis inhibitor to protect against aortic dissection
Pharmacological Research, 2022 Smooth muscle cell (SMC) loss is the characteristic feature in the pathogenesis of aortic dissection (AD), and ferroptosis is a novel iron-dependent regulated cell death driven by the excessive lipid peroxidation accumulation.
