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.

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.

Observations on Two Previously Unreported Anatomical Factors Relating to the Esophagogastric Junction

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The esophagogastric junction (EGJ) is the anatomical zone where the esophagus ends and the stomach begins. Its competence in preventing gastro‐esophageal reflux has been shown to depend on a number of factors which have been extensively investigated and widely accepted.

Outcomes of Early versus Delayed Endovascular Repair of Blunt Traumatic Aortic Injuries

Oman Medical Journal, 2019
Objectives: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has surpassed open surgical repair in the management of blunt traumatic aortic injuries (BTAIs) over the past two decades. It is a less morbid procedure associated with lower mortality. We sought to

Percutaneous Transaxillary Access for Large‐Bore Cardiovascular Interventions: Evidence, Technique, and Complication Management

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Percutaneous transaxillary access is an established alternative to transfemoral large‐bore arterial access for transcatheter structural heart interventions and mechanical circulatory support (MCS). Although useful for overcoming hostile iliofemoral anatomy and providing prolonged support and patient mobilization in case of MCS, the axillary ...

Evaluating the effects of glutaraldehyde concentration and incubation time on the structural integrity of the human pericardium

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
BackgroundGlutaraldehyde (GA) fixation of pericardial tissue is widely used in bioprosthetic heart valves. However, how GA concentration and incubation time jointly influence structure-function relationships remains incompletely understood.

Validation of an Automated Artificial Intelligence‐Driven Planner for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Preprocedural planning with multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is an essential prerequisite for successful transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, preprocedural planning is time‐consuming and may contain clinically meaningful interobserver variability.

Coronary Perforation During Excimer Laser Angioplasty in a Patient With Prior Thoracic Radiotherapy

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Management of heavily calcified coronary lesions remains challenging despite advances in plaque‐modifying technologies. Excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) is an effective adjunctive strategy with a low risk of no‐reflow. Case Summary A 75‐year‐old woman with non–ST‐segment elevation acute coronary syndrome and severe left ...

Endovascular treatment for mobile thrombus of the thoracic aorta

, 2007
Detection levels of mobile thrombus of the thoracic aorta have greatly increased after any embolic event. Although the indication for treatment remains controversial, there is a growing interest about the etiopathogenesis of this rare entity and to ...
