Aortic angiosarcoma masquerading as a thoracic aortic aneurysm [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2009 Aortic angiosarcoma is an exceedingly rare clinical entity. Significant delay in diagnosis can occur due to a low index of suspicion on the part of the clinician. We report a case of aortic angiosarcoma masquerading as a descending thoracic aneurysm arising from a penetrating ulcer. The patient was initially treated with an endovascular stent graft for

CT of thoracic aortic aneurysms. [PDF]
RadioGraphics, 1990 Aneurysms of the thoracic aorta are most often the result of arteriosclerotic disease. Other causes include degeneration of the medial layer of the aortic wall, either idiopathically or due to genetic disorders such as Marfan syndrome; aortic dissection; trauma; syphilis and other bacterial infection; noninfective aortitis; and congenital anomaly.

A case of a highly tortuous descending thoracic aortic aneurysm treated by surgical exclusion
SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2020 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
ACR Open Rheumatology, 2022 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 ...

Massive aggrecan and versican accumulation in thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection.
JCI Insight, 2018 Proteoglycan accumulation is a hallmark of medial degeneration in thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD). Here, we defined the aortic proteoglycanome using mass spectrometry, and based on the findings, investigated the large aggregating ...

Mitochondrial function in thoracic aortic aneurysms [PDF]
Cardiovascular Research, 2018 Mitochondria contain multiple copies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that encode ribosomal and transfer RNAs and many essential proteins required for oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondria are essential for generation of ATP, but also generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a by-product of the electron transport chain. Oxidative damage to mitochondrial

MicroRNAs in ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms [PDF]
Bioscience Reports, 2020 AbstractThoracic Aortic Aneurysm (TAA) is characterized by the dilation of the aorta and is fatal if not diagnosed and treated appropriately. The underlying genetic mechanisms have not been completely delineated, so better knowledge of the physiopathology of TAAs is needed to improve detection and therapy.

Genes Associated with Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection: 2018 Update and Clinical Implications
Aorta, 2018 Thoracic aortic aneurysms, with an estimated prevalence in the general population of 1%, are potentially lethal, via rupture or dissection. Over the prior two decades, there has been an exponential increase in our understanding of the genetics of ...

Acute Aortic Syndromes and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm [PDF]
Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 2009 Acute and chronic aortic diseases have been diagnosed and studied by physicians for centuries. Both the diagnosis and treatment of aortic diseases have been steadily improving over time, largely because of increased physician awareness and improvements in diagnostic modalities.

An HDAC9-MALAT1-BRG1 complex mediates smooth muscle dysfunction in thoracic aortic aneurysm
Nature Communications, 2018 Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) has been associated with mutations affecting members of the TGF-β signaling pathway, or components and regulators of the vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) actomyosin cytoskeleton.
