Aneurysmal dilation is one of the primary pathologies necessitating surgical intervention on the ascending aorta. Aortic aneurysms are largely asymptomatic. As such, knowledge of the natural history and risks associated with surgical intervention are critical. Surgical replacement is indicated when the risk...
Ascending aorta dilation in association with bicuspid aortic valve: a maturation defect of the aortic wall. Patients with a bicuspid aortic valve have increased susceptibility to the development of ascending aortic dilation and dissection compared with persons wi... N Grewal,AC Gittenberger-De Groot,...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression changes of adhesion molecules and MMPs in an experimental model of ascending aortic aneurysm induced by ascending aorta banding in Wistar rats. Twelve rats developed aortic dilation after ascending aort...
FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely, to radionuclide diagnostics, and can be used for examining patients with suspected inflammation in the wall of the ascending aorta with aneurysmal dilation. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) of the mediastinum and X-...
The human ascending aorta (AA) is exposed to very high shear and pressure stresses exerted by the blood flow ejected from the left ventricle outflow tract. This vessel has a unique structural behaviour which adequately redistributes the energy captured from the blood flow ejection to sustain a ...
The mean difference (95% limits of agreement) for the Bland-Altman plots was 0.6 mm (-5.3 to 6.5) for the sinuses of Valsalva, 4 mm (-2.7 to 10.7) for the sinotubular junction, 1.5 mm (-5.8 to 8.8) for the ascending aorta, and 2.2 mm (-5.9 to 10.3) for the descending aorta....
mm (?5.8 to 8.8) for the ascending aorta, and 2.2?mm (?5.9 to 10.3) for the descending aorta. Conclusions: In this retrospective pilot study, FOCUS demonstrated good agreement with CTA measurements of maximal thoracic aortic diameter. FOCUS appears to be specific for aortic dilation and ...
Neither the valve morphology (p = 0.62) nor concomitant aortic valve replacement (p = 0.86) influenced rate of root dilation. Conclusions: In nonsyndromic patients, the aortic root is the slowest growing portion of the thoracic aorta. Leaving the native root, as in root-sparing ascending aortic...
