Molecular mechanisms of thoracic aortic dissection [PDF]

Journal of Surgical Research, 2013
Thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) is a highly lethal vascular disease. In many patients with TAD, the aorta progressively dilates and ultimately ruptures. Dissection formation, progression, and rupture cannot be reliably prevented pharmacologically because the molecular mechanisms of aortic wall degeneration are poorly understood.

A narrative review exploring the association between hypothyroidism and thoracic aortic diseases

JVS-Vascular Insights
Background: Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) and aortic dissections (AD) are recognized as one of the leading causes of death in developed countries. Although mortality decreases if at-risk individuals are diagnosed early, on thorough screening, many fail

Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2014
Aortic dissection is the most devastating complication of thoracic aortic disease. In the more than 250 years since thoracic aortic dissection was first described, much has been learned about diseases of the thoracic aorta. In this review, we describe normal thoracic aortic size; risk factors for dissection, including genetic and inflammatory ...

The polymorphisms in angiotensin-converting enzyme and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 are not associated with thoracic aortic diseases and coronary heart disease

Proceedings of Singapore Healthcare, 2016
Introduction: The polymorphisms of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) genes have been demonstrated to be involved in some cardiovascular diseases.

Placement of a Zenith® Dissection Endovascular System in the Descending Thoracic Aorta Can Hamper Further Surgical Aortic Operations

EJVES Vascular Forum, 2020
Introduction: The efficacy of endovascular treatment for complicated Stanford type B acute aortic dissection is being established. However, aortic events sometimes occur, and some cases require surgical intervention.

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).

A Painless Thoracic Aortic Dissection

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2016
Thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) has a very high mortality rate and is often missed due to the atypical presentation of patients. We present a case of a man with chronic hypertension, atrial fibrillation (AF) (on regular warfarin) and a previous endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), who presented with dyspepsia and was incidentally found to have a ...

Proximal aortic stiffening in Turner patients may be present before dilation can be detected : a segmental functional MRI study [PDF]

, 2017
Background: To study segmental structural and functional aortic properties in Turner syndrome (TS) patients. Aortic abnormalities contribute to increased morbidity and mortality of women with Turner syndrome.
