Exclusion criteria, designed to exclude known drivers of aortic pathology and to align with published population data on aortic size,18-20 included personal or family history of aortopathy, first-degree family member with a history of thoracic aortic aneurysm, bicuspid aortic valve, connective tissue...

Exclusion criteria were patients < 18 years old, acute aortic syndrome, previous aortic root or ascending aorta surgery, and concomitant mitral or tricuspid surgery. Data recollection for the baseline characteristics, procedure, hospitalization, and discharge were obtained from a dedicated database prospec...
Coronary arteries with aberrant origins are known asanomalous coronary arteries(ACAs). The frequency of ACAs varies from 0.3% to 5.6% depending on the definition of ACA in each individual study.8Studies with more stringent criteria only accept coronary arteries as anomalies if they originate from ...
Surgical repair of known aortic aneurysms and other valvular and aortic conditions meeting certain criteria is recommended prior to pregnancy (which had been also recommended to our patient in the second case), with surgery during pregnancy considered only when conservative treatment fails to control ao...

The aim of this study was to define the echocardiographic criteria for identifying suitable candidates for ascending aortic aneurysm repair that spares the aortic valve. We also examined the perioperative and intermediate-term results of this innovative procedure.Fifteen patients underwent ascending aortic ...
GO analysis of the strongly expressed genes in EC_1 (75 genes with log2FC > 1 versus the other subpopulations, P < 0.05), EC_2 (72 genes with the same criteria), and EC_3 (190 genes with the same criteria) showed enrichment of expected biological processes. The three ...
Nevertheless, according to Duke’s criteria, the most probable diagnostic remains infective endocarditis, although an alternative explanation could be paradoxical embolization of septic thrombosis of the legs through a patent foramen ovale. Moreover, this case underlies the high potential for complications...
