Objective There is currently no medical treatment proven to limit abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) progression. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to pool data from previous ...

The ascending aorta may also become aneurysmal, but is not considered in this study as ESG is rarely undertaken for this condition. The adult aorta is expected to measure 2.39–2.98 cm11 at the point ...

Pressure and flow distributions are reported at different steady flows for four latex fusiform aneurysm models. The accuracy of results by pitot-static techniques is examined in terms of experimental ...

Introduction ‘Porcelain aorta’ is listed in the second consensus document of the Valve Academic Research Consortium as a risk factor in aortic valve replacement. However, the extent of circumferential ...

Background: Mural cells in ascending aortic aneurysms undergo phenotypic changes that promote extracellular matrix destruction and structural weakening. To explore this biology, we analyzed the ...

The aorta represents a complex organ system which begins in the aortic ring adjacent to the aortic root with the origin of the two major coronary arteries, and ends at the iliac bifurcation. The ...

Understand the risks of aortic aneurysm and take control of your health. Learn from an expert about the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for this potentially life-threatening condition.

Aortic aneurysm is a focal and permanent dilation of the aorta. It is asymptomatic and, therefore, it can go unnoticed until it ruptures. Aneurysmal aorta is characterized by weakened structural ...

Due to the sudden rupture of the aortic wall, aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention, as it can lead to vascular collapse. Individuals with ...
