Multiaxial pulsatile dynamics of the thoracic aorta and impact of thoracic endovascular repair

open access: yesEuropean 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 ...

Aortic Coarctation: Recent Developments in Experimental and Computational Methods to Assess Treatments for this Simple Condition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is often considered a relatively simple disease, but long-term outcomes suggest otherwise as life expectancies are decades less than in the average population and substantial morbidity often exists.

Thoracic aorta calcification but not inflammation is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk: results of the CAMONA study

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2016
PurposeArterial inflammation and vascular calcification are regarded as early prognostic markers of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this study we investigated the relationship between CVD risk and arterial inflammation (18F-FDG PET/CT imaging), vascular

Infected aneurysm of the thoracic aorta [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Vascular Surgery, 2008
Infected aneurysm of the thoracic aorta is rare and can be fatal without surgical treatment. We review our experience with 32 patients during a 12-year period.Retrospective chart review.Between 1995 and 2007, 32 patients (24 men, 8 women) with infected aneurysms of thoracic aorta were treated at our hospital. Their median age was 74 years (range, 50-88

Complications of endovascular aneurysm repair of the thoracic and abdominal aorta: evaluation and management.

open access: yesCardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy, 2018
In recent decades, endovascular aneurysm repair or endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) has become an acceptable alternative to open surgery for the treatment of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms and other aortic pathologies such as the acute aortic ...

Esophageal Cancer Initially Thought to be Accompanied by a Solitary Metastasis to an Intrathoracic Paraaortic Lymph Node [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Esophageal cancers usually exhibit lymph-node metastases. Although a solitary lymph-node metastasis is occasionally found, the involvement of an intrathoracic paraaortic node is rare.
