A thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a bulge in the wall of the aorta, the body’s largest artery. If the aneurysm grows too ...

To simulate blood flow inside brain aneurysms, researchers from Japan have developed a computational method that combines 4D ...

Proximal aortic cross-clamping decreases the blood flow through the fistula. The problem of controlling the venous bleeding originating from the fistula is most important and the first to be solved.

Preoperative duplex ultrasonography identified an infrarenal AAA with a "lobular" extra-aneurysmal mass that compressed the inferior vena cava in three cases, whereas a "saccular" infrarenal AAA ...

Vascular studies use ultrasound (sound wave) technology to assess the flow of blood in arteries and veins in the arms, legs, and neck.

December 9, 2024—In a multicenter, prospective, nonrandomized study evaluating outcomes of fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) in patients with asymptomatic, intact ...

An aortic root aneurysm is a bulge in the first section of the aorta, where the artery joins the heart and aortic valve. Learn more about aortic root aneurysm.

Introduction Type II endoleaks (T2ELs) following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) can lead to aneurysm growth, compromising the stent graft seal and risking ...

The aorta, also known as the main artery, is now recognised as an independent human organ. This has now been established in the guidelines for aortic surgical treatments of the European ...

Certain types of aortic aneurysms have no symptoms unless they rupture, while others can cause pain or discomfort in the chest, abdomen, back, and elsewhere. Learn more.

Sports reporter Grant Wahl died of a rupture of an ascending aortic aneurysm with hemopericardium – an accumulation of blood in the sac around his heart – his wife, Dr. Céline Gounder ...
