92 This is based on Laplace’s law, meaning that an increase in aortic diameter will lead to a proportional increase in wall stress. Accordingly, a maximum aortic diameter threshold of 5.5 cm is the most used parameter in deciding elective aneurysm repair. However, various studies have shown ...
The term aneurysm is derived from the Greek word aneurysma, meaning "a widening." In current vascular surgery practice, an aneurysm is defined as a permanent localized dilatation of any vessel, having at least a 50% increase in diameter compared with the expected normal diameter (Suggested ...
(cams), also known as border-associated macrophages, as one of the key players in ia pathogenesis, acting as critical mediators of inflammatory processes related to ia ruptures. using a new mouse model of middle cerebral artery (mca) aneurysms we show that cams accumulate in the ia walls. ...
Human TAAD tissue that is available for research and composition assessment is obtained during surgery or the following post-mortem and, therefore, represents an end-point for disease, meaning that establishing PGs/GAGs as initiating factors or the association with other stimuli during disease ...
