Theaortic wallis a dynamic composite structure that consists of matrix macromolecules and vascular cells. Each component has a role in definition of the structure of the tissue and, therefore, a disruption of these components might change the mechanical behaviour of the vessel wall. Herein, we high...
The definition of ‘root aneurysm’ was marked sinus dilatation proximal to the sinotubular junction. ‘Ascending aneurysm’ was defined as dominant dilatation distal from the sinotubular junction. Fifteen cases were examined and classified into two groups; Group A with an ascending aneurysm (four pat...
