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

open access: yesThe 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.

False hydatic aneurysm of the thoracic aorta

open access: yes, 1995
In this article we report the successful treatment of a lower descending thoracic aorta hydatidosis that mimicked a posterior saccular aneurysm; surgical excision was performed and the aorta was repaired with a prosthetic Dacron patch.

Cardiac morphological and morphometric analysis of Ardea alba

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Descriptive, stratigraphic, and morpho‐functional study of the myocardium and myocardial bridges in domestic pig hearts

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The heart is the central organ of the cardiovascular system. The myocardium is composed of a three‐dimensional network of fibers arranged in clockwise and counterclockwise helices, which are essential for proper cardiac contraction. This study aimed to describe the stratigraphic and morpho‐functional pattern of the porcine myocardium to ...

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

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

open access: yesBMEMat, 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 ...

PARANEOPLATIC OBSTRUCTION OF DESCENDING THORACIC AORTA: A NEW INDICATION FOR ENDOVASCULAR SURGERY?

open access: yes, 2019
We describe the rare case of a 61-year-old man admitted to our emergency department with visceral-organ and lower-limb malperfusion because of an unknown retroperitoneal high-grade undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma and a severe paraneoplastic ...
