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

Causal factors in the development of thoracic aortic aneurysm

Российский кардиологический журнал, 2013
Aim. To assess the causal factors in the development of thoracic aortic aneurysm. Despite the existing screening programmes, widely used visualisation methods, and improved intervention techniques, aortic aneurysm remains one of the leading causes of ...

Targeting interleukin-1β protects from aortic aneurysms induced by disrupted transforming growth factor β signaling [PDF]

, 2017
Aortic aneurysms are life-threatening conditions with effective treatments mainly limited to emergency surgery or trans-arterial endovascular stent grafts, thus calling for the identification of specific molecular targets.

Combined AFX2 with thoracic stent graft: A different endovascular approach of an abdominal aorta aneurysm

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2023
The AFX2 endovascular repair system is a unibody, bifurcated stent graft that can be used in an abdominal aortic aneurysm associated with anatomical challenges, especially if it is combined with different aortic cuffs.

TGFβ (transforming growth factor-β) blockade induces a human-like disease in a nondissecting mouse model of abdominal aortic aneurysm [PDF]

, 2017
Objective-Current experimental models of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) do not accurately reproduce the major features of human AAA. We hypothesized that blockade of TGF beta (transforming growth factor-beta) activity-a guardian of vascular integrity ...

Successful management of abdominal aortocutaneous fistula following emergency endovascular aneurysm repair for aortoenteric fistula in a patient with Takayasu arteritis

Indian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2022
Aortocutaneous fistula is an extremely rare complication after aortic endograft infection. We report on the management of a patient who presented with aortocutaneous fistula following emergency endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of an aortoenteric ...

Computational fluid dynamicaccuracy in mimicking changes in blood hemodynamics in patients with acute type IIIb aortic dissection treated with TEVAR [PDF]

, 2018
Background: We aimed to verify the accuracy of the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) algorithm for blood flow reconstruction for type IIIb aortic dissection (TBAD) before and after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).

Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Aortic Function Evaluation in Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms

Artery Research, 2020
Thoracic aortic aneurysm is a common cardiovascular disease consisting of marked dilation of the aorta. Aortic aneurysms carry a high risk of life-threatening complications such as aortic dissection or rupture.
