Differences in the Thoracic Aorta by Region and Sex in a Murine Model of Marfan Syndrome

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a hereditary disorder of the connective tissue that causes life-threatening aortic aneurysm, which initiates at the aortic root and can progress into the ascending portion.

Diseases of the thoracic aorta in women [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2013
Women have now equaled or surpassed men in the number of cardiovascular deaths per year in published statistics. In 2006, according to the National Center for Health Statistics and the Center for Disease Control, cardiovascular disease was the cause of death in 428,906 women (35% of all deaths in women) and in 394,840 men (33% of all deaths in men).

Vascular Smooth Muscle-Specific Progerin Expression Accelerates Atherosclerosis and Death in a Mouse Model of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Progerin, an aberrant protein that accumulates with age, causes the rare genetic disease Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS). Patients who have HGPS exhibit ubiquitous progerin expression, accelerated aging and atherosclerosis, and ...

The influence of the aortic valve angle on the hemodynamic features of the thoracic aorta

Scientific Reports, 2016
Since the first observation of a helical flow pattern in aortic blood flow, the existence of helical blood flow has been found to be associated with various pathological conditions such as bicuspid aortic valve, aortic stenosis, and aortic dilatation ...

A rare case of acyanotic congenital heart disease, large patent ductus arteriosus with pre-ductal coarctation of descending thoracic aorta with patent ductus arteriosus closure and extra anatomical bypass grafting

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2017
We report a case of 18-year-old female patient with large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)-preductal coarctation of descending thoracic aorta. She underwent large PDA closure with a prosthetic graft from ascending aorta to descending thoracic aorta by mid ...

Quality of life after intervention on the thoracic aorta.

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2016
Surgery on the thoracic aorta is challenging and historically associated with significant mortality and morbidity. In recent times, there has been increased emphasis on the importance of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) measures.
