The present study showed maximum aorta diameter measured following pediatric [4] and adult ASE [3] guidelines recommendations to be similar with a mild non-significant underestimation of the SIE method compared with DLE, which allows them to be interchangeable when used in clinical practice. Further...

All patients were diagnosed with ATAA with an average ascending aorta diameter of 4.65 ± 0.32 cm. The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, angina) was similar between controls and patients. Non-proteomic blood measurements are shown in Table 2. In order to ...
