The aorta is the largest artery in the body to which all other major arteries are connected. It is a big tube-like structure, usually about 1 inch wide in diameter, although its size varies ...

We aimed to examine the association between circulating blood biomarkers and the maximal thoracic aortic diameter (TADmax). Methods In this cross-sectional study, consecutive adult patients with a ...

Patients with ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm are recommended to undergo routine imaging surveillance. Although maximal diameter is the primary metric of disease severity, recent American College ...

Aortic regurgitation occurs when blood leaks back into the left ventricle due to a leaky aortic valve. This is a type of valve disease in the heart. Aortic regurgitation can lead to some heart ...

The aortic valve was bicuspid but not stenotic. Additionally, the left ventricle was mildly hypoplastic with an end-diastolic diameter of 12.6 mm (Z-score, −2.82). Coarctation of the aorta was ...

diameter or the CVC diameter to the abdominal aorta (Ao) diameter (CVC:Ao) at the paralumbar view are associated with changes in intravascular volume, mean arterial pressure (MAP), or cardiac output ...

Despite moderate overall flap movement, in-plane displacement increased from 0.6 to 1.8mm as disease progressed, which was associated with an overall increase in aortic diameter. Additional ...

The result calls into question the prospects of FDA approval for the Acurate neo2 valve, which is already in use globally.

Boston Scientific’s long-awaited transcatheter aortic heart valve missed its mark in a head-to-head study aimed at bringing the implant to the U.S.—but the company believ | Boston Scientific’s ...
