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 ...

Maximal diameter measurements were also recorded in a variety of aortic locations, including sinuses of Valsalva (cusp‐to‐cusp technique); sinotubular junction; mid‐ascending aorta; proximal arch; mid ...

All aorta measurements performed at CT or TTE combined at different ... To our knowledge, this is the first study that assesses the association with thyroid hormones and thoracic aortic diameter in ...

"What's interesting about the findings in our study is that the measures of how blood flow affects the aortic wall were not ...

Aortic sinus diameter, sinotubular junction diameter and ascending aorta diameter were measured at their respective maximum diameters, and descending aorta diameter was measured at the level of the ...

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 ...

Pseudocoarctation is an unusual anomaly mirroring true coarctation. Congenital kinking or pseudocoarctation of aorta was never a benign condition. Although surgical repair should be suggested for all ...

The aberrant artery in intralobar sequestration originated in 74% of all cases from the thoracic aorta, and in 14·8% there was more than one anomalous artery. The mean diameter of the aberrant ...
