Aims
Large-scale investigations on ascending aortic diameter, especially in the Asian population, are lacking. Furthermore, relevant evidence regarding the distribution of hypertension (HP), bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), and Marfan syndrome (MFS) is scarce. We aimed to examine the distribution of ascending aortic diameter in these populations in Chi...
Patients with Marfan syndrome often have severe life-threatening cardiovascular complications, including aortic aneurysmal dilatation or aortic dissection. Approximately two-thirds of people who have this syndrome suffer from chest wall deformities such as pectus excavatum (cobbler's chest) or pectus carinatum (bird's chest). When a patient with a...
Background
Acute type A aortic dissection (aTAAD) is a lethal disease and age is an important risk factor for outcomes. This retrospective study was to analyze the impact of age stratification in aTAAD, and to provide clues for surgeons when they make choices of therapy strategies.
Methods
From January 2011 to December 2019, 1092 aTAAD patients fr...
Objective
We sought to find a bedside prognosis prediction model based on clinical and image parameters to determine the in-hospital outcomes of acute aortic dissection (AAD) in the emergency department.
Methods
Patients who presented with AAD from January 2010 to December 2019 were retrospectively recruited in our derivation cohort. Then we prosp...
Thoracic aortic dilatation is a progressive condition that results from aging and many pathological conditions (i.e., connective tissue, inflammatory, shear stress disorders, severe valvular heart disease) that induce degenerative changes in the elastic properties, leading to the loss of elasticity and compliance of the aortic wall. Mild aortic roo...
