Screening for familial thoracic aortic aneurysms with aortic imaging does not detect all potential aarriers of the disease

, 2015
Background: About 20% of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection (TAAD) have a first-degree relative with a similar disease. The familial form (FTAAD) of the disease is inherited in an autosomal-dominant pattern.

Three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of diaphragmatic dome motion in COPD patients

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Diaphragmatic dysfunction is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in emphysema, where hyperinflation alters diaphragm geometry and impairs inspiratory mechanics. However, quantitative three‐dimensional (3D) assessments of diaphragmatic dome shape and motion across COPD phenotypes are limited.

Aortobronchial fistula after endovascular stent graft repair of the thoracic aorta

, 2000
Endovascular stent graft repair of descending thoracic aortic aneurysms has been recently introduced as an alternative to conventional graft replacement of the diseased aorta. As experience with this new technique accumulates, complications may occur. We

Cardiac morphological and morphometric analysis of Ardea alba

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Ardea alba (Linnaeus, 1758) is a widely distributed heron species whose cardiovascular morphology remains poorly described. This study aimed to characterize the cardiac morphology and morphometry of adult A. alba. Ten specimens were analyzed using radiographic, morphometric, histological, scanning electron microscopy, and three‐dimensional ...

Online anatomical images are an effective resource to improve knowledge acquisition and practical exam performance in gross anatomy

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
The use of cadaveric images in visceral anatomy is associated with improved knowledge acquisition, higher motivation and satisfaction. Besides, the use of anatomical images significantly improved students' practical exam performance in the dissection room.

Drug‐coated balloons: From conventional designs to next‐generation innovations in vascular therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review traces the evolution of drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) from conventional designs to next‐generation platforms. We highlight innovations in balloon engineering, coating technologies, and therapeutic agents that enhance localized drug delivery while addressing challenges in efficiency, safety, and biocompatibility for vascular and emerging non ...

Dissection of the descending thoracic aorta extending into the ascending aorta. A therapeutic challenge

, 1994
Proper management of dissections of the descending thoracic aorta with intimal disruption close to the left subclavian artery and retrograde extension of the dissection into the aortic arch or the ascending aorta is controversial, because the standard ...

The Impact of Aging on the Anatomical Course of the Azygos Vein: A Retrospective, Computed Tomography Study

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The azygos vein (AV) is typically described as ascending vertically to the right of the vertebral column before arching anteriorly to drain into the superior vena cava. However, a small number of studies suggest that it is found leftward in older adults.

Pre‐Existing and New‐Onset Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent comorbidity in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). In addition, new‐onset AF can occur after TAVI. However, data on how AF affects outcomes in patients undergoing TAVI remain conflicting.

Single Centre Experience With the Balloon‐Expandable Myval Transcatheter Aortic Valve System in Patients With Bicuspid Anatomy: 1 Year Follow‐Up

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) anatomy remains challenging due to anatomical complexity and limited trial data. New‐generation balloon‐expandable valves, such as Myval, require further evaluation in this subgroup.
