For example, the body habitus of women may make it easier to see a calcified aortic arch on chest radiograph. Second, atherosclerotic calcification reflects not only the atherosclerotic process but also bone calcium metabolism. Elderly women develop osteoporosis and some calcium is redistributed from ...

For patients with a severely calcified ascending aorta, achieving ideal exposure of the ascending aorta and aortic arch is essential for selecting a safe location for arterial cannulation and aortic cross-clamp placement and additionally, ensuring secure closure of the aortotomy and effective bleeding c...
Thoracic aortic calcification is an important pathological entity underlying both intimal atherosclerotic disease and medial degenerative processes.1 High-density macro-calcified lesions in the aortic wall can be readily identified using computed tomography (CT) and are associated with an increased risk of...
The present study was performed to examine the prevalence of and associations between calcification in the coronary arteries, aortic arch and carotid arteries, assessed by multislice computed tomography (MSCT), in an elderly population. Methods and results This study was part of the population-based...
Transthoracic Echocardiogram showed the left ventricle with conserved systolic function, mild aortic insufficiency with calcified valve, and a fixed structure on the wall of the pulmonary artery with erratic movement indicative of vegetation on orifice of PDA (Figs. Conducto arterioso patente complicado...
The human body is a very compact and structurally closely related composite; thus, when performing difficult and complicated diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the abdominal or thoracic regions, accidental injuries to the aorta and other structures are bound to occur. Depending on the type of ...
(bicuspid aortopathy) can be confined to the aortic root, the ascending aorta, or extend from the VAJ up to theaortic arch(Table 5.3)[18]. The descending aorta is usually not affected. The combination of aortic medial degeneration and BAV-relatedhemodynamicchanges causesaortic walldistention. ...
the absence of a pacing lead inside the right ventricle for rapid pacing avoids the risk of ventricle perforation; the volume of contrast media injected is drastically reduced; finally, the absence of retrograde crossing of the aortic arch decreases the risk of cerebral embolization and aortic disse...
