A 68-year-old man with 1 week of bloating and constipation undergoes CT, which reveals Stanford type B aortic dissection ...

The Queensland man's aorta, the biggest blood vessel in the body, had ballooned to about four times the usual size, leaving it in danger of rupturing.

TAR was defined as an aortic repair involving the whole aortic arch including its branches using the conventional elephant trunk or the hybrid FET techniques. The hemiarch repair was defined as an ...

Conclusion: Aortic arch branch cannulation is a feasible and safe arterial perfusion strategy for ATAAD surgery via a minimally invasive single upper hemisternotomy. Among the options, the innominate ...

Yang et al. further demonstrated that the single-branch aortic stent has a definite effect of endoluminal isolation in the treatment of TBAD through an in-depth analysis of 11 cases of TBAD patients ...

It is important not to consider these various types of occlusive disease involving the major branches of the aortic arch as one entity since they differ strikingly in age incidence, sex and race ...

Aortic aneurysms are the 13th-leading cause of mortality in the United States. 1 The incidence of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) is increasing with improvements in screening, as well as advances in ...

When the dissection extends to the aortic arch or the descending aorta, resection of the entire intimal flap may not be possible or the patient may require partial or total arch replacement. 61 A ...

Sparce evidence suggests superiority of total arch replacement with branch-first technique (BF-TAR) and antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) over conventional techniques with respect to morbidity and ...

In this study, we use the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Aortic Geometry Extraction Techniques to study the blood flow through the human aortic arch geometry, which is constructed from a set of CT ...
