A break at point A or B, with persistence of the right dorsal aortic root (RDAR), would result in a left aortic arch with either a blind pouch (point A) or a pouch giving origin to a ...
The aortic root has specific geometric ratios. The mathematical relationship between the aortic valve and aortic root might be used to guide aortic valve repair.
A CT or MRI scan is likely to have more precise results, and it is recommended that people with an aortic root measuring between 3.5 and 4.5 cm get screened annually. Exercise is a two-edged sword ...
There are several important branches that arise from the aortic arch, including the carotid arteries that supply the brain. If the ascending aorta or aortic arch are affected, then the aortic root may ...
Aortic root rupture that occurs during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using balloon-expandable prostheses carries a heightened risk of in-hospital adverse events but can be predicted by ...
Bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital heart defect in adults. Dilatation of the proximal aorta, or bicuspid aortopathy, is present in approximately half these patients and can lead to ...
April 12, 2005 -- Patients with Marfan syndrome with an aortic root diameter of more than 3 cm should be considered for prophylactic surgery, according to the results of a Markov decision analysis ...
Mild poststenotic dilatation and increased left atrium/aortic root transverse ratio is noted. Either maximum velocities or velocity time integrals (VTIs) may be used.
The aim of personalised external aortic root support (PEARS) using mesh in people with Marfan syndrome is to reinforce the aortic root and ascending aorta to prevent enlargement and subsequent ...
Exercise is a two-edged sword. On the one hand, it has many cardiovascular benefits. On the other, too-vigorous exercise, in theory, could accelerate the enlargement of the aortic root. One ...
NEW ORLEANS — Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in failing transcatheter valves may not be feasible in approximately 20% of patients, and the feasibility appears to depend on aortic root ...
