The so-called chimney techniques and recently developed fenestrated and branched endografts improve the feasibilty of EVAR alone. The use of TEVAR for aortic arch pathologies is a well-established technique even for complex pathologies; however, technical feasibility and success require a highly ...

The angiographic catheter is the key equipment for percutaneous angiography. It should be equipped with suitable hardness, elasticity, flexibility and torsion, as well as good X-ray penetration; in addition, its shape memory should be good, the catheter wall should be smooth, the imaging performanc...
What is the optimal target for the second arterial graft in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery?Aortic arch pathologies such as acute aortic dissection and aneurysmal disease represent surgical challenges. Various emerging techniques and surgical prostheses have expanded the therapeutic armamentarium ...
The apex of the heart is the lowest tip of the organ. Read on to learn more about the location and function of the apex of the heart.
Background: Although classic type A and B aortic dissections have been well described, less is known about the natural history of penetrating atherosclerotic ulcers of the thoracic aorta. This study differentiates penetrating ulcer from aortic dissection, determines the clinical features and natural hist...
Aortic aneurysmal disease of the thoracic and abdominal aorta is a potentially life-threatening disease and requires besides preventive measures early detection of the disease and if present for the patient-tailored interventional treatment. This paper will discuss the current role of imaging in the ass...
Doctors do the ultrasound while your baby is in the womb, because 25% of infants with CHD need medication or surgery within the first year of life. Early detection allows doctors to prepare for your infant’s care and ensure they have a plan in place. ...
