Objective Calcium metabolism has long been implicated in aortic stenosis (AS). Studies assessing the long-term safety of oral calcium and/or vitamin D in AS are scarce yet imperative given the rising ...

Trends point to more and more PCIs being performed via the wrist, but the US still trails behind other countries.

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.

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 ...

The great majority of diseases treated throughout all arms of the study consisted of either fusiform or saccular thoracic aneurysms.

The key feature of surgical treatment for acute type A aortic dissection is the replacement of the ascending aorta. The proximal aortic arch should be inspected. Aortic root pathology should be ...

Conclusions: Our results highlight a distinct pathological role of aortic valve regurgitation in ascending aortic aneurysm formation by promoting mesenchymal activation of endothelial cells and ...

Ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (ATAA) are potentially fatal conditions marked by progressive enlargement of the ascending aorta, with risks of dissection or rupture if untreated. Identifying ...

Increased eosinophil levels in COPD were associated with impaired abdominal aortic dynamics, highlighting a mechanistic link between eosinophilic inflammation and vascular dysfunction.

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 ...

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 ...
