Aortic Pathology Determines Midterm Outcome After Endovascular Repair of the Thoracic Aorta Report From the Medtronic Thoracic Endovascular Registry (MOTHER) Database [PDF]
Background—Endovascular repair of the thoracic aorta has become an increasingly utilized therapy. Although the short-term mortality advantage over open surgery is well documented, late mortality and the impact of presenting pathology on long-term ...

Esophageal Cancer Initially Thought to be Accompanied by a Solitary Metastasis to an Intrathoracic Paraaortic Lymph Node [PDF]
Esophageal cancers usually exhibit lymph-node metastases. Although a solitary lymph-node metastasis is occasionally found, the involvement of an intrathoracic paraaortic node is rare.
