True and false lumens were determined by evaluating continuity with normal aorta lumen. If the intimal flap was shown as 2 lines on the CT image due to wavering, the midportion between the 2 lines was defined as the intimal flap position. The ratio of the false lumen diameter to the ...

Objective The clinical behavior of penetrating atherosclerotic ulcers of the aorta is controversial. We reviewed our experience with this entity over a 25-year interval. Methods Cases were identified using the Department of Radiology database searching for the diagnoses of aortic dissection, intramural ...
In multivariate regression analysis proximal descending aorta axial (p = 0.014) and circumferential (p = 0.034) wall shear stress were independently related to local diameter. Conclusions Reduced rotational flow is present in the aorta of Marfan patients even in the absence of dilation, is ...
The diameter of the ascending colon is narrower than the cecum, and its length reaches ~ 20 cm in adults. At the hepatic flexure, the colon emerges medially and anteriorly into the peritoneum as the transverse colon. Distally, it curves acutely and inferior to the lower pole of the ...
8 Several technical/physical variables such as aortic diameter and arch angulation in young patients and access artery size must be taken into consideration when endovascular repair is being contemplated, with special attention given to the landing zone. A landing zone of at least 1.5 cm usually ...
The devices were deployed using a 20F to 24F sheath introduced through a femoral arteriotomy or retroperitoneal exposure of the distal abdominal aorta. The average aneurysm diameter was 6.2 cm (range: 4–11 cm) and mean stent-graft dimension was 3.4 cm (range: 2.4–4.5 cm) in diameter and...
