Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is now an established treatment option for elderly patients with severe ...

Endovascular graft fixation depends on the integrity and long-term structural stability of the aorta at the sites of deployment. Gradual dilatation and elongation of the residual infrarenal aortic ...

It is rather surprising that this frequent and almost specific tonal quality of the murmur of aortic stenosis receives little emphasis in clinical teaching. No mention of it is found in many ...

A higher 7-day home systolic BP was the only factor significantly associated with faster progression of the ascending aortic diameter (regression coefficient B, 0.012; 95% CI, 0.001-0.023).

A case of giant-cell aortitis developing in a thirty-year-old woman, with resultant ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic incompetence on the basis of dilatation of the valvular annulus, is presented.

Type 1 — in which the valves function normally but dilation (widening) or openings cause the leaks Type 2 — in which excessive leaflet tissue causes aortic cusp prolapse ...

Abnormal blood flow in the aorta is linked to inflammation and breakdown of the vessel wall in conditions where the aorta is dilated. This is shown in a study led by researchers at Linköping ...

It is easier to find dilated aortas, or aneurysms, on the part of the aorta located in the abdomen. In Sweden, all men over the age of 65 are offered screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Abnormal blood flow in the aorta is linked to inflammation and breakdown of the vessel wall in conditions where the aorta is dilated. This is shown in a study led by researchers at Linköping ...

Conclusions— The risk for aortic dissection is greatly increased in young women with TS. Because of their small stature, ascending aortic diameters of <5 cm may represent significant dilatation; thus, ...
