Aortic size index (ratio of aortic diameter over body surface area in m2) greater than 2.75 cm/m2 is an indication for surgery,58 as is accelerated growth (>10 mm/y growth in aneurysms <5 cm).59 Aortic regurgitation, in conjunction with an aortic root or ascending aortic aneurysm, requi...
3D CEMRA of an aortic aneurysm can demonstrate the site of aneurysm, its size and morphology, and relationship of the aneurysm to branch vessels and the presence of associated features such as thrombus or ulceration (Fig. 11). These findings can affect surgical decision making, and MR ...
Aortic size indexEndovascular repairBACKGROUND: A gender-neutral threshold aneurysm diameter (AD) of more than 5.5 cm for surgical intervention in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) ignores the fact that women have a smaller baseline AD. We hypothesized that women have a greater AD relative to body...
Aortic AneurysmA looped brachiocephalic trunk may cause transradial coronary angiography (TRA) failure with a right radial approach. The prevalences of aortic aneurysm (AA) and a looped brachiocephalic trunk are closely related to increased age. The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship...
Similarly, there was a dose-response relationship between 25(OH)D concentrations and the size of the AAA: every 10-nmol l(-1) decrease in 25(OH)D levels was associated with 0.49 mm (95% CI 0.11-0.87) increase in mean aortic diameter. CONCLUSIONS: Low vitamin D status is ...

Full size image Case 2 The second patient was a 37-year-old woman from a family now known for a heterozygous pathogenic variant of FLNA (filamin A). She was diagnosed with mild mitral- and aortic-valve regurgitations since her youth. Both regurgitations were detected during the diagnostic ...
Aortic Z-score (Z-score) is utilized in clinical trials to monitor the effect of medications on aortic dilation rate in Marfan (MFS) patients. Z-scores are reported in relation to body surface area and therefore are a function of height and weight. However, an information void exists regardi...
