Apr 30th, 2022 - The Munich Valsalva Implantation Technique (MuVIT) is a non-invasive alternative which uses a modified Valsalva manoeuvre to reduce cardiac output (CO). The aim of this study was to evaluate the technical success and safety of MuVIT in standard an...

Apr 28th, 2022 - Due to the risk of mobilizing plaque fragments, transfemoral TEVAR is a potentially dangerous procedure in patients with a coral reef aorta. We describe a practical method for transfemoral TEVAR in a patient with a degenerative thoracic aneurysm a...

Mar 15th, 2022 - Variations in the alveolar plateau phase of the capnogram are often confused with spontaneous breathing efforts in an intubated patient. The oscillations in the capnogram due to a large ascending thoracic aneurysm are a separate entity from cardio...

Feb 24th, 2022 - Open management of extensive pathology of the proximal aorta, namely ascending aorta, aortic arch, and descending thoracic aorta (DTA) requires sequential treatment of each segment involved. According to the etiopathogenesis and clinical history o...

Dec 11th, 2021 - Ruptured and symptomatic juxtarenal and paravisceral aneurysms present technical challenges during endovascular repair. We sought to compare physician modification and fenestrated (PMEG) versus chimney/periscope/snorkel (CHIMPS) repair techniques ...

Sep 27th, 2021 - A descending thoracic aneurysm is a bulge in the aorta. The aorta is a large blood vessel that carries blood away from your heart to organs in the rest of your body. Your aneurysm is caused by a weakening in the artery wall. If left untreated, thi...

Mar 23rd, 2020 - Multicentre prospective registry including consecutive patients undergoing Percutaneous Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (PEVAR), Percutaneous Endovascular Thoracic Aneurysm Repair (PTEVAR) or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) in which va...

Mar 4th, 2020 - Thoracic aortic aneurysm An aortic aneurysm is defined as a localised dilatation of the aorta, which includes all three layers of the vessel, intima, media and adventitia. The incidence of thoracic aortic aneurysm is estimated to be six to ten cas...

Jun 5th, 2019 - Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an aortic dilatation superior or equal to 30 mm with an estimated prevalence at 8% in men over 65 year-old. It evolves with no clinical signal until the rupture of the aortic wall with dramatic outcomes. The path...

Dec 12th, 2014 - CHICAGO – Endovascular repair of thoracic aortic aneurysms confers an immediate but short-lived survival advantage over open repair that completely disappears and then reverses 4. 5 years after intervention, a study showed.

Jan 30th, 2014 - A study published in Journal of Vascular Surgery is a "call to action" for device companies. Women are more likely than men to suffer complications, including death, from thoracic endovascular aortic repair.

Aug 24th, 2006 - Action Points When treating patients with aortic-aneurysm genetic disorders, recognize that DNA genotyping for Marfan's and the two other syndromes described here will be most useful in patients who have features shared by several syndromes. When ...

NEW YORK – About one in four patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm may be at risk for thoracic aneurysm, judging by results of a single-center retrospective study of more than 1,000 patients. Dr.
