AAA occurs most frequently in males. Advanced age and smoking are the most common risk factors. Atherosclerotic lesions in the abdominal aorta are thought to increase the risk of AAA; Other risk factors for aneurysmal disease of the aorta include aortic infection, trauma, vasculitis, and connective...

“This implies flavonoids from sources other than black tea may be protective against abdominal aortic calcification when tea is not consumed.”“Abdominal aortic calcification is a major predictor of vascular disease events, and this study shows intake of flavonoids, that could protect against ...
Over time, the intima and media layers of the arteries exhibit extracellular matrix protein deposition and calcification. The hallmark of the atherosclerotic process is plaque formation, which has the potential to lead to lumen stenosis and thrombosis. The formation of the atheromatous plaque is a ...
Atherosclerotic lesions obtained in dogs have a similar location to humans (abdominal aorta and iliac arteries) [18], and histological changes are characteristic plaque lesions in the middle layer of the arteries [19]. However, research on dogs is limited for ethical and financial reasons (...

that IMA grafting of the LAD is also associated with less progression of native atherosclerotic disease within the proximal LAD as compared to when a vein graft is anastomosed to the LAD, as well as greater and rapid native disease progression from the development of fibrosis and calcification....
in several cases included in the trial, the presence of calcification at the level the aortic root warned the surgical team that manipulation at this level or cross-clamping might be associated with a higher risk of stroke, leading them to adapt a surgical technique aimed at reducing periprocedur...
While vessel wall thickness reflects anatomical rather than structural/functional information, it is still considered an important quantitative parameter in characterizing atherosclerotic burden. We therefore start with a short overview of different two- and three-dimensional sequences that are used for ...
