Pathophysiology and Therapeutics of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm in Marfan Syndrome

Biomolecules, 2022
About 20% of individuals afflicted with thoracic aortic disease have single-gene mutations that predispose the vessel to aneurysm formation and/or acute aortic dissection often without associated syndromic features. One widely studied exception is Marfan

Thoracic aortic aneurysm

Tzu Chi Medical Journal, 2015
Aortic diseases contribute to the high overall cardiovascular mortality rate. The Global Burden Disease 2010 project demonstrated that the overall global death rate from aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection has increased in the past decade. Guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of aortic diseases emphasize rapid and efficacious diagnostic ...

Are Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Patients at Increased Risk for Cardiovascular Diseases?

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2022
Objectives: Abdominal aortic aneurysms are associated with a sharply increased cardiovascular risk. Cardiovascular risk management is therefore recommended in prevailing guidelines for abdominal aneurysm patients. It has been hypothesized that associated

Staged graft replacement with thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair for an extensive thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm after total arch replacement

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2022
Background Open surgery for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm is highly invasive. Staged repair for extensive TAAA is effective because it has low morbidity and mortality, and preserves spinal cord perfusion. An initial total arch replacement can create a
