Successful open surgical treatment for persistent type II endoleak following thoracic endovascular aortic repair: a case report

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background The occurrence of type II endoleaks after endovascular repair of aortic aneurysm has gradually gained increasing attention. We present a case of a patient with an expanding aneurysm after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for a type ...

Transposition of an anomalous left vertebral artery followed by endovascular treatment of descending thoracic aortic aneurysm using a branched endoprosthesis

Annals of Vascular Surgery - Brief Reports and Innovations
The anomalous origin of the left vertebral artery from the aorta is the second most common anatomical alteration of the aortic arch. We present a case of a patient with a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm and an anomalous origin of a dominant left ...

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair with a right thoracotomy approach

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2022
Background The common femoral artery is usually the preferred access route for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). However, if access from the common femoral artery is challenging, other routes must be considered.

Computational analysis to assess hemodynamic forces in descending thoracic aortic aneurysms

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Left: Pre‐processing. First, we perform the segmentation of the Computer Tomography angiorgraphy (angio‐CT) scans of a healthy patient, obtaining the surface of a healthy thoracic aorta with a Type III aortic arch. Then, we build nine ideal configurations with Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (DTAA), varying the aortic arch ...

Vascular smooth muscle cell mechanotransduction: Pathways, phenotypes and emerging technologies

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Vascular smooth muscle cells are exposed to mechanical stimuli from the blood flow and the extracellular matrix. The cells sense the signals from cyclic stretch, shear stress, hydrostatic pressure and matrix stiffness through specialized mechanosensors, such as mechanosensitive ion channels or cell surface receptors including ...

Vascular Abnormalities in Hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome: A Retrospective Cohort Study

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 9, Page 2080-2087, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (hEDS), while generally free from severe vascular complications, may occasionally present with cardiac and vascular abnormalities that warrant specific investigation. While studies have been conducted on the prevalence of cardiac involvement, none have focused on vascular aspects. This retrospective study was

Endovascular management of a rare complication of an aortic coarctation

Radiology Case Reports, 2018
A 28-year-old pregnant woman presents with arterial hypertension of the upper limbs. The examination suggests an aortic coarctation. After a normal delivery, a contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a subocclusive aortic coarctation of the ...

Evidence of a Protective Effect of Metformin on Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Risk: Insights From an Observational Study and Mendelian Randomisation Analysis Using Putative Metformin Targets

Annals of Human Genetics, Volume 90, Issue 5, Page 294-302, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims There is no proven treatment to prevent the growth or rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). As an aneurysm enlarges over time, the risk of fatal aortic rupture increases. Metformin, a drug usually prescribed to treat Type 2 diabetes, has previously been associated with reduced AAA risk in observational studies. Our aim was to assess
