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 ...

Here, we aim to examine the indications for surgical intervention on the dilated aorta, particularly the ascending segment. Studies of the natural history of ascending aortic aneurysms indicate ...

Aortic regurgitation (AR) may occur due to damage to the aortic valve leaflets or as a result of dilation of the aortic annulus. As the disease progresses, symptoms of heart failure eventually occur.

1) and fluoroscopy revealed considerable cardiac enlargement, primarily of the left ventricle, but also of the left atrium, an aneurysm of the ascending aorta, with slight dilatation of the arch ...

While bicuspid aortic valves are known to be associated with aortic dilation and dissection, the risk of dissection in this population has recently been called into question. Michelena and ...

Aortic regurgitation can result from abnormalities of the aortic valve leaflets, dilation of the aortic root, or a severe increase in afterload. When the aortic leaflets are involved, there is ...
