INFLUENCE OF CARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTORS ON AORTIC WALL MOTION AFTER REPAIR OF TYPE A AORTIC DISSECTION: AN ECG-GATED CT STUDY [PDF]

, 2012
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate aortic shape changes during cardiac cycle with dynamic computed tomographic angiography at important thoracic aorta anatomic landmarks in patients who previously underwent ascending aorta repair because of type A dissection, and ...

Pre‐operative reference ranges for ROTEM® sigma in patients undergoing cardiac surgery: a secondary analysis of two prospective trial cohorts

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) is used widely in cardiac surgery. Reference ranges are derived from healthy volunteers but may not be interchangeable with those from patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Furthermore, sex and age seem to influence rotational thromboelastometry profiles.

GenTAC registry report: Gender differences among individuals with genetically triggered thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection [PDF]

, 2013
Previous data suggest women are at increased risk of death from aortic dissection. Therefore, we analyzed data from the GenTAC registry, the NIH‐sponsored program that collects information about individuals with genetically triggered thoracic aortic ...

Hoarseness as the sole symptom of an impending thoracic aneurysm rupture? [PDF]

Malaysian Family Physician, 2014
Unilateral vocal cord palsy secondary to thoracic aortic aneurysm is a rare occurrence. Direct compression of the enlarging thoracic aneurysm on the left recurrent laryngeal nerve causes neuronal injury of the nerve, which is manifested as hoarseness ...

Determination, Calculation and Representation of the Upper and Lower Sealing Zones During Virtual Stenting of Aneurysms [PDF]

Int J CARS, Vol. 5, Suppl. 1, pp. 13-14, Springer Press, June 2010, 2013
In this contribution, a novel method for stent simulation in preoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) acquisitions of patients is presented where the sealing zones are automatically calculated and visualized. The method is eligible for non-bifurcated and bifurcated stents (Y-stents).

Outcomes of type A aortic dissection in Australia

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Mortality outcomes for type A aortic dissection in Australia have improved over time, stabilizing at 18% over the last 5 years. Units performing fewer operations for type A dissection showed equivalent mortality outcomes to high‐volume units. Abstract Introduction Without surgical intervention, type A aortic dissection (TAAD) carries a high risk of ...

Hybrid debranching and TEVAR of the aortic arch off-pump, in re-do patients with complicated chronic type-A aortic dissections : a critical report [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Patients suffering from acute type A aortic dissection undergo replacement of the ascending aorta, the proximal hemiarch or complete aortic arch, depending on the extent of the individual pathology.

Model reduction methodology for computational simulations of endovascular repair [PDF]

Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, London : Informa Healthcare, 2018, 21 (2), pp.139-148, 2019
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a current alternative treatment for thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms, but is still sometimes compromised by possible complications such as device migration or endoleaks. In order to assist clinicians in preventing these complications, finite element analysis (FEA) is a promising tool.

Simulation of bifurcated stent grafts to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) [PDF]

, 2016
In this paper a method is introduced, to visualize bifurcated stent grafts in CT-Data. The aim is to improve therapy planning for minimal invasive treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Due to precise measurement of the abdominal aortic aneurysm and exact simulation of the bifurcated stent graft, physicians are supported in choosing a suitable ...

Index cases of intracranial aneurysms in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: longitudinal experience from a single renal transplantation centre

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The prevalence of intracranial aneurysms (ICAs) is higher in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) than in the general population. This extrarenal manifestation carries significant mortality and morbidity risks.
