Researchers have found in a pilot study that survivors of Type A and Type B thoracic aortic dissection who participated in a ...

In patients with ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) and no other organ-system abnormalities, the absolute risk of aortic dissection is low but increases with larger aortic sizes, according to ...

Patients who have an error in the gene known as LOX—shorthand for lysyl oxidase, the enzyme it encodes—are particularly prone to thoracic aortic aneurysm and ...

Thoracic aortic dissection occurs when the intima of the aorta becomes compromised and “tears” or “dissects” a new layer that fills with blood between the intima and the media. This “false lumen” can ...

Another particular vascular syndrome that associates TAA/AD and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has been suggested in a single family. 13 We report here the study of a large three-generation French ...

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) and the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) released a new clinical practice guideline that includes major recommendations for managing patients ...

Your aorta is a tube-like structure that resembles a candy cane. The thoracoabdominal aorta starts after the curve of the cane and extends past the arteries that deliver blood to the stomach, ...
