A new method of alerting clinical care providers holds promise for increasing treatment and improving survival for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), a valvular heart condition that can be ...

The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body, carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart to every organ and tissue. It begins at the left ventricle, extends upward through the chest to form an ...

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.

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 ...
