Aortic Aneurysm with and without Dissection and Concomitant Atherosclerosis—Differences in a Retrospective Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Background: Thoracic aortic aneurysm is a latent disease with a high risk of death. Today, as data are accumulating, an estimation of the differences in thoracic aneurysm in men and women of different age groups is required.

Endovascular Stent Grafting for Aortic Arch Aneurysm in Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease following Aortic Arch Debranching and Aortobifemoral Reconstruction

Case Reports in Medicine, 2017
Treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms constitutes high mortality and morbidity rates despite improvements in surgery, anesthesia, and technology. Endovascular stent grafting may be an alternative therapy with lower risks when compared with conventional ...

Perspectives on the revised Ghent criteria for the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome [PDF]

, 2015
Three international nosologies have been proposed for the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome (MFS): the Berlin nosology in 1988; the Ghent nosology in 1996 (Ghent-1); and the revised Ghent nosology in 2010 (Ghent-2).

Secondary aortoesophageal fistula after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for a huge aneurysm

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, 2013
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair for a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm is an excellent alternative to open surgery, especially in patients with a number of comorbidities.

Reversal of Stress‐Induced PIEZO1 Elevation with Mechanically Adapted Epicardial Patch for Myocardial Infarction Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work identifies fine‐tuning the expression of PIEZO1 as a critical molecular mechanism underlying the treatment of myocardial infarction by mechanically adapted cardiac patches, which can support the clinical translation of cardiac patch devices.

Detection and Visualization of Endoleaks in CT Data for Monitoring of Thoracic and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Stents [PDF]

, 2016
In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for the segmentation of the inner and outer boundary of thoratic and abdominal aortic aneurysms (TAA & AAA) in computed tomography angiography (CTA) acquisitions. The aneurysm segmentation includes two steps: first, the inner boundary is segmented based on a grey level model with two thresholds; then, an ...

CCDC80 Protects against Aortic Dissection and Rupture by Maintaining the Contractile Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotype

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Aortic dissection (AD) is accompanied by a decrease in CCDC80 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). CCDC80 can interact with JAK2, and VSMC‐specific CCDC80 deficiency accelerates the progression of AD by activating the JAK2/STAT3 pathway involved in regulating the phenotype switching and function of VSMCs.

Treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysm [PDF]

Annals of Translational Medicine, 2018
The diameter of thoracic aortic aneurysm (AA) is at least 1.5 times that of a normal thoracic aorta (1). Sixty percent of thoracic AAs occur in the aortic root and/or the ascending aorta, 40% occur in the descending aorta, 10% occur in the aortic arch, and 10% occur in the thoracoabdominal aorta (2).

Hybrid endovascular operation for ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm [PDF]

, 2007
The rupture of a thoracic aortic aneurysm is a life-threatening emergency. Conventional open surgical repair carries a high mortality and morbidity. We report an elderly patient who suffered from rupture of a proximal descending thoracic aortic aneurysm ...
