Combined surgical treatment in aortic type A dissection.

7 Nov 2009 Acute Stanford type A aortic dissection is a fatal event that, for its high mortality when left untreated, requires urgent surgical intervention. The established treatment includes repair of the ascending aorta and various portions of the aortic ... Read more...

A comparison of mechanical properties of materials used in aortic arch reconstruction.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Differences in the mechanical properties of aortic tissues and replacement materials can have unwanted hemodynamic effects leading to graft failure. The aim of this experimental study was to compare the mechanical properties of different ... Read more...

The effect of left subclavian artery coverage on morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing endovascular thoracic aortic interventions: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: Thoracic endografts (stent grafts) have emerged as a less invasive modality to treat various thoracic aortic lesions. The intentional coverage of the left subclavian artery (LSA) during the placement of these endografts is associated ... Read more...
