A doctor there recognised it was an aneurysm - a bulging of the aorta which can rupture - and phoned Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, who said they would have a team waiting to operate. I was wrapped in ...

The knowledge that aneurysmal disease is systemic has implications for screening practice. There is evidence that screening for AAAs during lower extremity arterial evaluation is cost-effective ...

All compounds are either investigational or being studied for (a) new use(s). Efficacy and safety have not been established. There is no guarantee that they will become commercially available for the ...

They then shut tightly until the next heartbeat. If you have aortic regurgitation, the flaps around your aortic valve — the valve that pumps blood to your heart — don’t close fully.

The abdominal aorta is a large artery in your belly that carries blood from the heart to the lower part of the body. In early fetal development, it forms from two smaller blood vessels, called the ...

It provides a streamlined pathway for ablation catheters to enter the left ventricle through the aorta. This approach is known as retrograde aortic access. Retrograde aortic access can help reach ...

CHICAGO — A transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) device developed specifically for the treatment for aortic regurgitation has met all the prespecified safety and efficacy goals ...

The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body, carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart to every organ and tissue. It begins at the left ventricle, extends upward through the chest to form an ...

Abstract: Objective: Computational modelling of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (ATAA) typically assumes zerodisplacement at the model's inlet. In this study we incorporated different types of ...

Despite reported racial disparities between Black and White adults in short-term outcomes after abdominal aortic aneurysmal intervention, there is a paucity of literature aimed at understanding ...
