Care guide for Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm. Includes: possible causes, signs and symptoms, standard treatment options and means of care and support.
Along with surgical treatment, one must also understand the molecular basis for how blood vessels remodel and thus, the role of cathepsins in aortic disease is elucidated. Lastly, chapters discussing the perioperative management of radiation exposure and ultrasound-guided nerve blocks as well as the...
Abdominal ultrasound.This is the most common test to look for abdominal aortic aneurysms. A technician will apply warm gel to your abdomen and use a special device that uses sound waves to look inside you, painlessly, for signs of an aneurysm. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).This test, whi...
11, 12, 13 Whereas a recent study has reported the applicability of Doppler ultrasound for the diagnosis of descending TAA,14 the computed tomography (CT) scan remains the gold standard. Thus, TAA screening in general population would not be cost effective in healthcare policy. In the ...

The application of epi-aortic ultrasound to identify and cannulate the true lumen of a dissecting descending thoracic aneurysm for which left atrial鈥揻emoral partial bypass was required is described. Because of scarring and inflammation, cannulation of the femoral artery could not be accomplished. ...
Introduction Hemoptysis is rarely reported as the chief complaint of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). It usually occurs due to aneurysm erosion into the lung parenchyma or rupture into the lung [1]. Point-of-care ultrasound (POC-US) is no... CY Cheng,HY Pan,CT Kung - 《Ultrasound in Medi...
The aortic size of these mice was checked using ultrasounds (Figure S6). MiR-574-5p was over-expressed in the plasma of Fbn1C1041G/+ mice versus Wt (3-fold; p < 0.05; Figure 6A). Furthermore, miR-574-5p expression was positively correlated with the diameter of the different segment...
The use of TTE to assess the DTA is limited by structures in the thorax that weaken or distort the ultrasound signal and compromise image quality. Via a suprasternal, subcostal, or parasternal view, small parts of the DTA can be visualized, while in the case of a pleural effusion, the ...
