Global life expectancy is rising, and people are becoming increasingly sedentary, due to which the risk of developing aneurysms is also increasing, leading to the huge demand for aortic stent grafts.

There is a clear need for high‐quality, longitudinal, multi‐institutional studies using standardized and high‐quality imaging measurements, to more accurately define specific patient characteristics ...

In this cross-sectional study of 158 patients with TAD, several blood biomarkers were found to be associated with the size of the thoracic aorta. The significantly associated blood biomarkers were ...

Two studies published in JACC on June 16 provide new insights on arterial events associated with heritable thoracic aortic disease (TAD) and the relative risk in patients with pathogenic variants (PVs ...

the aortic isthmus, and the thoracic descending and abdominal aorta. The aorta as an organ can be regarded as a biological “windkessel”, storing kinetic energy during systole which is delivered during ...

Chronic thoracic aortic aneurysm (CTAA) is defined by dilation of the thoracic aorta to beyond ... His research demonstrated that aneurysm size (when indexed to the patient's size) is proportional to ...

Previous studies of adult mammalian thoracic aortas revealed that tension per medial lamellar unit was independent of species and that distribution of medial vasa vasorum, number of medial lamellar ...

Objective Longitudinal data on age-related changes in the diameters of the thoracic aorta are scarce. To better understand normal variation and to identify factors influencing this process, we aimed ...

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a common treatment for Stanford type B aortic dissection ... More accurate simulations are highly dependent on accurate model establishment and material ...

Aortic dissections and aneurysms remain clinically challenging entities. Over the past several years, concepts in the management of thoracic aortic disease have slowly evolved and incrementally ...
