Ascending aorta dilation was a coincidental finding in these two newborns with congenital CMV disease, appearing at the time of birth and resolving by the end of 6 weeks Gangciclovir treatment, We hypothesize that there is an association between Congenital CMV infection and dilatation of the ...
Long-Term Experience of Girdling the Ascending Aorta With Dacron Mesh as Definitive Treatment for Aneurysmal Dilation 2007, Annals of Thoracic Surgery Citation Excerpt : Of the three principal forms of dilation—poststenotic, annuloaortic ectasia (marfanoid), and tubular—the poststenotic form, whic...
Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was aortic size at the sinuses of Valsalva and the ascending aorta, measured using transthoracic echocardiography in accordance with contemporary guidelines. Aortic dimensions were compared with age, sex, and body size–adjusted predictions from published nomo...
Aortic valve and ascending aorta guidelines for management and quality measures 2013, Annals of Thoracic Surgery Citation Excerpt : It is important to note that patients successfully operated on for aortic dissection have a markedly reduced late survival rate. Mortality associated with ascending or arch...

2a–g). Cells in patients with dilated aorta were in general more degenerated, and extensive degradation of junction material forming large gaps and EC phagocytizing adjacent cells was observed (Fig. S4), implying that junction fragility is a feature of BAV before as well as after dilation. ...
aorta size and proportional dilation between genders. Despite the correction of aneurysm size to body size, acute aortic syndromes occur at smaller aneurysm sizes in women than in men with worse ATAA-related outcomes [55]. Thus, a smaller diameter of the aorta can progress more rapidly in ...
BACKGROUND:Acute intramural hematoma (IMH) of the ascending thoracic aorta and aortic arch is a life-threatening condition, particularly in elderly patients with comorbidities, due to its risk of progression and rupture. Unlike aortic dissection, IMH lac
Alterations in elastic properties were especially found in the proximal aorta,17 and were thought to precede aortic dilation and to increase LV afterload.18, 19 Consequently, TOF aortopathy can lead to LV remodeling as a result of ventricular-arterial coupling. Increased LV end-diastolic pressure ...
Recent guidelines support more aggressive surgery for aneurysms of the ascending aorta and root in patients with bicuspid aortic valve. However, the fate of the arch after surgery of the root and ascending aorta is unknown. We set out to assess outcomes following root and ascending aortic surgery...
