Aneurysmal disease of the aorta is clinically important since, as the diameter of the aorta expands, linear wall stress increases, which in turn directly increases the risk of spontaneous aortic rupture—an event with extremely poor prognosis for the patient. Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) involve...
Cardiac echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed aneurysmal dilation of the ascending aorta with moderate aortic valve insufficiency and moderate pericardial effusion. The boy underwent reconstruction of his ascending aorta in the form of a Bentall procedure using a 25-mm ...
Surgery revealed that the ascending aorta was adherent to the superior vena cava and pulmonary artery, but a dissection membrane was not found. The wall of the ascending aorta was up to 20mm thick with perianeurysmal fibrosis. Pathologic examination revealed an inflammatory aneurysm with adventitia ...
theascending aortaand the decrease in concentration can be explained by increased collagen deposition.24Age-related fragmentation of the elastic lamellae and increased medialfibrosishave also been noted in normal, nonaneurysmal aortas, which makes it difficult to distinguish thehistopathologyof aneurysmal ...
Computed tomographic aortography confirmed the diagnosis of aneurysmal dilatation of the ascending aorta. She underwent successful aortic valve replacement and aortic root replacement. The final diagnosis of tuberculous aortitis was made on the basis of macroscopic appearance of inflammation and microscopic ...
Long-term predictors of descending aorta aneurysmal change in patients with aortic dissection. We sought to demonstrate the long-term natural course of descending aorta dilation after acute aortic dissection (AD) and identify early predictors for lat... JM Song,SD Kim,JH Kim,... - 《Journal ...
The aorta has grown over the last 5 to 10 years, and the distal arch is aneurysmal; the proximal middescending thoracic aorta is aneurysmal, perhaps 6½ or 7 cm; and there is a true and a false lumen and multiple fenestrations. How many people would re-enter, do a median sternotomy...
In the autopsy series, there were additionally 19 patients, who had died suddenly as a result of free perforation or dissection of the ascending aorta. In the clinical series, the cause of the aneurysmal formation was cystic medial necrosis in 10 patients, 8 of whom had severe aortic valve ...
the ascending aorta and aortic valve with separate prostheses, leaving the coronary ostia undisturbed, is a satisfactory alternative provided the aortic annulus is of suitable size and quality; this is more likely to be the case in dissections than in aneurysmal dilatation of the ascending aorta. ...
Reoperation for aneurysmal disease of the ascending aorta in patients with concomitant aortic valve incompetence Background The natural history and management of ascending aorta (AA) and arch dilatation in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) after aortic valve r... WA Haverich - 《Journal of...
