The modern surgical treatment of disorders of the thoracic aorta began in the early 1950s when Gross, Swan, Lam, and DeBakey and their associates1–4 reported successful treatment of coarctation and aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta using segmental resection and replacement with several types of grafts. In 1956, Cooley and DeBakey5 reported the

The publication of this article is based upon the conviction that aortic rupture has generally been mishandled due to confusion concerning its diagnosis and prognosis. The anatomicopathology of our cases suggests the feasibility of rapid diagnosis of the condition and early operative interference.

, 1996 The complete diagnostic evaluation of the thoracic aorta requires visualization of the lumen, aortic wall, and periaortic region in order to define intraluminal, mural, and extramural pathology. Imaging modalities must be capable of evaluating the entire extent of the aorta and the origin of the arch vessels in order to define the extent of any ...

Thoracic aorta – dilated or not?
Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal, 2006Knowledge of normal aortic diameters is important in the assessment of aortic disease. The aim of this study was to determine normal thoracic aortic diameters.77 patients undergoing computed tomography of the thorax were studied. The diameter of the thoracic aorta was measured at three levels in the ascending aorta and at three levels in the descending

Catheter angiography, transthoracic and transoesophageal ultrasound and contrast-enhanced helical CT are generally accepted and well-established imaging modalities for detecting pathology of the thoracic aorta. The disadvantages of helical CT and X-ray angiography include the exposure of the patient to ionising radiation and the potential risk of ...

Cardiovascular Research, 1979
Pulsed ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry and theoretical flow analysis have been combined to improve the knowledge and understanding of aortic velocity profiles and wall shear. From the theoretical point of view, particular aspects of the flow were developed, concerning the vorticity in the aorta, the interior velocity distribution, the boundary layer ...

Traumatic Rupture of the Thoracic Aorta
Acta Chirurgica Belgica, 2003Traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta is a life threatening situation, and may be secondary to several mechanisms; mainly penetrating or iatrogenic lesions and blunt trauma. Although penetrating mechanisms predominate, the number of patients with aortic disruption due to blunt trauma has continued to increase. This paper shows an overview focusing on

Blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) is predominantly a phenomenon of the 20th century secondary to high-energy deceleration injuries. Prior to the widespread adoption of automobiles, midway through the 20th century, 85% of injuries to the aorta were attributed to penetrating trauma, with 57% caused by gunshots and 25% by stab wounds.1–4 However, BTAI ...
