Disclosures Vascular. 2008;16 (5):258-262. Abstract and Introduction Abstract Chyloperitoneum is an uncommon but serious complication following abdominal aortic surgery.

Introduction Chronic thoracic aortic aneurysm (CTAA) affecting the arch or descending aorta is an indolent but life-threatening condition with a rising prevalence as the UK population ages. Treatment ...

By contrast, the groups had no differences in 5-year hospitalization rates. In multivariable analyses, the risk of 5-year all-cause mortality was significantly higher in patients with trajectory class ...

Although the physician may recommend a course of action in many instances, the decision to repair or observe aneurysms of borderline size (4.5 to 5.4 cm) should be made with informed input from the ...

A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool has been shown to significantly improve the detection of thoracic aortic aneurysms, potentially life-threatening heart vessel enlargements, during routine ...

The abdominal aorta is one of the first vascular beds where atherosclerotic calcification is observed, often preceding the development of coronary artery calcification. 3, 4 Population‐based studies ...

Overall, the aneurysm expansion rates during the 18-month period were lower in the antibiotic group (1.5 mm) than in the control group (3.0 mm), although these did not reach statistical significance.

The size of the aorta decreases with distance from the aortic valve in a tapering fashion. The normal diameter of the ascending aorta has been defined as <2.1 cm/m 2 and of the descending aorta as ...
