Targeting interleukin-1β protects from aortic aneurysms induced by disrupted transforming growth factor β signaling [PDF]

, 2017
Aortic aneurysms are life-threatening conditions with effective treatments mainly limited to emergency surgery or trans-arterial endovascular stent grafts, thus calling for the identification of specific molecular targets.

Deep Learning-Based Image Reconstruction for CT Angiography of the Aorta

Diagnostics, 2021
To evaluate the impact of a novel, deep-learning-based image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithm on image quality in CT angiography of the aorta, we retrospectively analyzed 51 consecutive patients who underwent ECG-gated chest CT angiography and non-gated ...

Adiponectin improves coronary no-reflow injury by protecting the endothelium in rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus. [PDF]

, 2017
To determine the effect of adiponectin (APN) on the coronary no-reflow (NR) injury in rats with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 80 male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with a high-sugar-high-fat diet to build a T2DM model.

Open, hybrid, and endovascular repair of recoarctation, aneurysm, and pseudoaneurysm after aortic coarctation repairCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Techniques
Objective: After aortic coarctation repair, patients may develop peri-anastomotic aneurysms or recoarctation requiring reintervention. We describe the spectrum of late coarctation repair–associated complications, repair strategies, and outcomes. Methods:

Thoracoscopic repair of iatrogenic injury to thoracic aorta during minimally-invasive esophagectomy: A case report and literature review

Annals of Vascular Surgery - Brief Reports and Innovations, 2022
Introduction: Aortic injury is a devastating complication in any surgery, and although rare it can occur during intrathoracic dissection of the oesophagus. This case report describes the successful thoracoscopic management of an iatrogenic thoracic aorta

Nanotherapies for Atherosclerosis: Targeting, Catalysis, and Energy Transduction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Atherosclerosis management is hindered by poor drug targeting and plaque heterogeneity. Nanotechnology overcomes these barriers via three core strategies: (1) target‐engineered nanocarriers that achieve lesion‐specific precision via ligand modification, biomimetic camouflage, stimuli‐responsive release, and self‐propelling nanomotors; (2) catalytic ...
