Abstract: 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 ...

Results Only one patient (0.6%) had a ‘true’ porcelain aorta, defined as contiguous calcification across all quadrants at any aortic level. Intraobserver and interobserver variation was excellent for ...

Findings emphasize the distinct nature of sporadic aortic aneurysm biology and identify new genetic targets for future investigation. To this end, we performed single nucleus RNA sequencing of 71 689 ...

The subdivision into seven segments seems to be clinically important—the aortic root, the ascending aorta, the ascending aortic arch, the vessel bearing arch, the aortic isthmus, and the thoracic ...

Subsequently, a super-stiff guidewire was advanced into the ascending aorta via the exposed CFA. The stent-graft was then advanced into the descending aorta, and simultaneously, the traction wire of ...

Due to the sudden rupture of the aortic wall, aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate ...

In other words, the aortic valve narrows and cannot open all the way. Since the aortic valve regulates the blood flow between the aorta and the left ventricle, this restricted blood flow causes ...

6. Rapid aortic root growth or ascending aortic aneurysm growth, an indication for intervention, is defined as ≥0.5 cm in 1 year or ≥0.3 cm per year in 2 consecutive years for those with sporadic ...

Find more information on the Altmetric Attention Score and how the score is calculated. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a complex disease posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Metabonomics ...

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), characterized by the pathological dilation of the abdominal aorta, was associated with immune response and inflammation. However, the key genes involved in ...
