A thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a bulge in the wall of the aorta, the body’s largest artery. If the aneurysm grows too ...

To simulate blood flow inside brain aneurysms, researchers from Japan have developed a computational method that combines 4D ...

When we think of heart-related emergencies, we often picture heart attacks or strokes. But there’s another silent yet life-threatening condition that gets very little attention- aortic aneurysm.

BACKGROUND: Thoracic (TAA) and abdominal (AAA) aortic aneurysm are life-threatening diseases characterized by dilation, inflammation, and structural weakness; development of pharmacological therapies ...

Flow chart of the first 200 patients operated on with the intention to perform PEARS for aortic root aneurysm. 3 patients were lost to follow-up. FU, follow up.

In recent years, advances in genetic analysis, robust molecular tools, and increased availability of animal models have greatly enhanced our knowledge of the pathophysiology of aortic aneurysms. This ...

None of the studies reported data for the number of days on a ventilator and change in aneurysm size pre- and post-exercise outcomes. Due to very low-certainty evidence, we are uncertain whether ...

Patient Referral Evaluation to Determine Indication for Computed Tomography to Identify Small Aortic Annulus Size in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis: PREDICT Study ...

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is among the most widespread and dangerous diseases that may cause death. Recently, Endovascular Aneurysm Repair outperformed open aortic surgery, since it is a safe ...

### Learning objectives After reading this article, the readers should be able to: Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a relatively rare but much-feared clinical presentation which has a high mortality, ...

Computer simulations based on the finite element method represent powerful tools for modeling blood flow through arteries. However, due to its computational complexity, this approach may be ...
