Fibulin-4 is essential for maintaining arterial wall integrity in conduit but not muscular arteries [PDF]
Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in fibulin-4 (FBLN4) lead to autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 1B (ARCL1B), a multisystem disorder characterized by significant cardiovascular abnormalities, including abnormal elastin assembly, arterial ...

ON-PUMP BEATING HEART MYOCARDIAL REVASCULARIZATION FOR HIGH RISK PATIENTS
107 patients with mean ejection fraction 40,6±7,4% underwent on-pump-beating heart coronary revascularization and associated procedures. There were 76 men and 31 women, with a mean age of 68,9±7,8 years.

Inverse modelling of an aneurysm's stiffness using surrogate-based optimization and fluid-structure interaction simulations [PDF]
Characterization of the mechanical properties of arterial tissues is highly relevant. In this work, we apply an inverse modelling approach to a model accounting for an aneurysm and the distal part of the circulation which can be modified using two ...

Giant descending aortic pseudo-aneurysm in an adult man with uncorrected aortic coarctation
Background Aortic coarctation (CoAo) accounts for 6 to 8% of all congenital heart diseases and occurs two to five times more often in males. The uncorrected aortic coarctation is complicated by hypertension, ascending and descending aortic aneurysms ...

Aortic aneurysm in heart transplant recipients [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to define the clinical features of aortic aneurysms occurring in heart transplant recipients.Among the 734 patients who have undergone heart transplantation at our institution over the last 14 years, we have identified 12 patients (1.6% incidence) with aortic aneurysms (9 infrarenal, 3 thoracoabdominal), making this the ...

Evolution of the wall shear stresses during the progressive enlargement of symmetric abdominal aortic aneurysms. [PDF]
The changes in the evolution of the spatial and temporal distribution of the wall shear stresses (WSS) and gradients of wall shear stresses (GWSS) at different stages of the enlargement of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are important in understanding
