Multiaxial pulsatile dynamics of the thoracic aorta and impact of thoracic endovascular repair [PDF]
European Journal of Radiology Open, 2021 Purpose: The thoracic aorta is a highly mobile organ whose dynamics are altered by thoracic endovascular aorta repair (TEVAR). The aim of this study was to quantify cardiac pulsatility-induced multi-axial deformation of the thoracic aorta before and ...

Automatic Segmentation of Thoracic Aorta Segments in Low-Dose Chest CT [PDF]
SPIE Medical Imaging, 2018, vol. 10574, pp. 105741S, 2018 Morphological analysis and identification of pathologies in the aorta are important for cardiovascular diagnosis and risk assessment in patients. Manual annotation is time-consuming and cumbersome in CT scans acquired without contrast enhancement and with low radiation dose.

Different anti-contractile function and nitric oxide production of thoracic and abdominal perivascular adipose tissues [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2016 Divergent phenotypes between the perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) surrounding the abdominal and the thoracic aorta might be implicated in regional aortic differences, such as susceptibility to atherosclerosis.

The difference in endothelium‐dependent relaxation components in proximal and distal thoracic aorta regions of male rats [PDF]
Physiological ReportsAorta, the largest vessel in the body, is generally considered anatomically homogeneous, yet spatial functional differences exist. In our study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis by reexamining public RNA‐SEQ data, comparing expression patterns ...

Reoperative surgery on the thoracic aorta [PDF]
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2013 The objective of our study was to report our hospital and long-term results after reinterventions on the thoracic aorta.Between 1986 and 2011, 224 reoperations on the proximal thoracic aorta after previous aortic surgery were performed in our institution. The number of reinterventions quadrupled during the course of the study period.

Coarctation of the Thoracic Aorta
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1971 Abstract Operative resection is clearly the treatment of choice for coarctation of the thoracic aorta. The optimal time for elective repair appears to start at age 4 years. When coarctation must be dealt with in the first few months of life because of persisting congestive heart failure, there will be a significant mortality which is correlated with ...

The sources of innervation of the aortic arch and thoracic aorta in human fetuses [PDF]
Archives of the Balkan Medical Union, 2021 Introduction. The development of angiosurgery requires the morphologists to clarify in more details the topographic anatomical peculiarities of arterial vessels, considering their morphogenesis, peculiarities of innervation, age and individual anatomical
