Abstract: Objective: Computational modelling of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (ATAA) typically assumes zerodisplacement at the model's inlet. In this study we incorporated different types of ...

Background Aneurysm wall enhancement (AWE) is a potential surrogate biomarker for aneurysm instability. Previous studies have assessed AWE using 2D multiplanar methods, most of which were conducted ...

Richie Faulkner, a guitarist in Judas Priest, has revealed that he has permanent brain damage after suffering a stroke that he called “collateral damage” from a previous health emergency.

Aortic coarctation is a fatal cardiovascular disease. For Stanford type B aortic coarctation, aortic endovascular isolation (TEVAR) is currently the treatment of choice and is far less invasive than ...

The annual growth rate of patients with ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm is slow, typically on the order of 0.25–1.0 mm/y. Thus, in asymptomatic patients without concerning clinical features, ...

We consider rupture the culmination of the life history of an aortic aneurysm, and a challenge to discover and excise these aortic lesions before rupture faces the medical profession. Often ...

The ALIGN-AR trial contributes to the literature by demonstrating high technical success, a reassuring safety profile, and favorable clinical outcomes in high-risk patients with aortic regurgitation ...
