TGFβ (transforming growth factor-β) blockade induces a human-like disease in a nondissecting mouse model of abdominal aortic aneurysm [PDF]
, 2017 Objective-Current experimental models of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) do not accurately reproduce the major features of human AAA. We hypothesized that blockade of TGF beta (transforming growth factor-beta) activity-a guardian of vascular integrity ...

Laying heart: calcified left ventricular aneurysm
Turk Kardiyoloji Dernegi Arsivi-Archives of the Turkish Society of Cardiology, 2013 A 63-year old man admitted to our clinic with a nonST elevation myocardial infarction. He underwent coronary angiography (CAG) which revealed a 3-vessel disease. Therefore, a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) operation was considered. CAG also revealed a rounded opacity under the heart which was mobile with cardiac movement during the CAG views (Fig.
