Inclusion criteria were age ≥18, with aortic valve disease or ascending aortic dilation without coronary disease. Exclusion criteria were other planned concomitant valve surgery, connective tissue ...

Divided into four sections—the aortic root, ascending aorta, aortic arch, and descending aorta—it ensures blood reaches areas like the arms, legs, brain, and abdominal organs. Signs of a problem with ...

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 ...

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 ...

Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is an indolent, potentially fatal disease, which progresses at variable rates that are influenced by pathogenesis and patient characteristics. We conducted a systematic ...

Balloon dilation is a commonly ... flows to the ventricle side from the aorta. The calculation was considered as steady flow, with average diastolic aortic pressure of 13,500 Pa applying for inlet ...

Conclusion: The overall outcome of CoA surgery is successful. Smaller preoperative z-score of the ascending aorta and transverse aortic arch, and an arm-leg systolic pressure gradient ≥12.5 mmHg at ...

Balloon dilation (balloon valvuloplasty) is the first treatment for most children with severe aortic stenosis. This is an interventional (catheter-based) procedure that is less invasive than ...
