Aortic dilatation patterns and rates in adults with bicuspid aortic valves: a comparative study with Marfan syndrome and degenerative aortopathy
Thus, AR in BAV is possibly a consequence of the abnormal valve rather than proximal aortic dilatation. Nevertheless, AR was associated with dilatation progression at the Valsalva sinuses level. The ...

Aortic elongation part I: the normal aortic ageing process
Results The length of the thoracic aorta was significantly related to age (r=0.54) and increased by 59 mm (males) or 66 mm (females) between the ages of 20 and 80 years. Elongation was most pronounced ...

Dissection of the aorta in Turner syndrome: two cases and review of 85 cases in the literature
The location of the aortic dissection was provided in 71 of the 85 cases. Over half (55%; 47/85) of the dissections occurred in the proximal aorta and 23% (20/85) in the distal aorta. In three cases, ...

Aspiration thrombectomy using a novel 088 catheter and specialized delivery catheter
In this latter situation, aspiration is commenced on the 070 catheter at the clot face, and then the 070 catheter is withdrawn into the more proximal 088 catheter ... sheath is inserted into the ...
Around 3% of us will develop a brain aneurysm in our lives. So what is it and how do you treat it?
About three in 100 people will have a brain aneurysm, varying in size from less than 5mm to more than 25mm in diameter. The ...
