Propagation-based phase-contrast synchrotron imaging of aortic dissection in mice : from individual elastic lamella to 3D analysis [PDF]
In order to show the advantage and potential of propagation-based phase-contrast synchrotron imaging in vascular pathology research, we analyzed aortic medial ruptures in BAPN/AngII-infused mice, a mouse model for aortic dissection. Ascending and thoraco-

Consecutive failing proximal landing zones
We report the case of a 77-year-old man who presented with successive aortic aneurysms during a 12-year period. He was first treated in 2006 for an abdominal aortic aneurysm with a bifurcated endograft, then in 2016 for a tender type IV thoracoabdominal ...

Challenging endovascular treatment of a thoracic saccular aneurysm in extensive coral reef aorta
Coral reef aorta (CRA) is characterized by heavily calcified obstructive lesions in the aorta. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is an established, less invasive procedure for aortic diseases; however, aortic occlusive diseases are commonly ...

Including Aortic Valve Morphology in Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations: Initial Findings and Application to Aortic Coarctation [PDF]
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations quantifying thoracic aortic flow patterns have not included disturbances from the aortic valve (AoV). 80% of patients with aortic coarctation (CoA) have a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) which may cause adverse ...

A case of a highly tortuous descending thoracic aortic aneurysm treated by surgical exclusion
The patient was a 76-year-old woman with an atypical descending thoracic aortic aneurysm due to a highly tortuous descending aorta. The surgical approach in this case required special consideration because of the aneurysm’s location. The main body of the

Long‐Term Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes in Patients With Clinically Isolated Aortitis
Objective The optimal management of patients with incidentally found clinically isolated aortitis (CIA) after aneurysm repair is unclear. This study compared long‐term surgical and clinical outcomes after surgical repair of thoracic aortic aneurysm ...

A systematic review of infected descending thoracic aortic grafts and endografts
Objective: The objective of this study was to collect and critically analyze the current evidence on the modalities and results of treatment of descending thoracic aortic surgical graft (SG) and endograft (EG) infection, which represents a rare but ...

Inhibition of MAPK-Erk pathway in vivo attenuates aortic valve disease processes in Emilin1-deficient mouse model [PDF]
Aortic valve disease (AVD) is a common condition with a progressive natural history, and presently, there are no pharmacologic treatment strategies. Elastic fiber fragmentation (EFF) is a hallmark of AVD, and increasing evidence implicates developmental ...

Synchrotron-based visualization and segmentation of elastic lamellae in the mouse carotid artery during quasi-static pressure inflation [PDF]
This dataset contains images that were obtained during quasi-static pressure inflation of mouse carotid arteries. Images were taken with phase propagation imaging at the X02DA TOMCAT beamline of the Swiss Light Source synchrotron at the Paul Scherrer ...
