Primäre maligne Tumore der Aorta sind extrem selten. Bisher wurden in der Weltliteratur knapp hundert Fälle beschrieben. Dieser Artikel schildert einen weiteren Fall eines malignen Tumors der Aorta, welcher jedoch initial von seinem angiographischen ...
Trotz des Einsatzes fortgeschrittener chirurgischer und interventioneller Techniken zur Therapie der Aortenisthmusstenose bleibt das Risiko der Entwicklung von Aneurysmen der Aorta erhöht. Die Mortalität dieser Aneurysmen wird in der Literatur mit ...
The case of a patient who underwent an endovascular aortic repair for a spontaneous rupture of a non-aneurysmal subdiaphragmatic aorta without trauma, infection, or inflammation is reported. The patient is a 51-year-old male diagnosed with ...
Over the last two decades, imaging of the aorta has undergone a clinically relevant change. As part of the change non-invasive imaging techniques have replaced invasive intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography as the former imaging gold standard for ...
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) as well as thoracic and abdominal endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR and EVAR) rely on accurate pre- and postprocedural imaging. This review article discusses the application of imaging, including preprocedural ...
Background: Multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) is more and more used for evaluation and quantification of coronary artery calcification, but correlation between the degree of calcification and occurrence of clinical events is also known for other ...
Abstract. Development of perigraft hygromas following repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms is extremely rare. A case is presented of a patient who was found to have a large hygroma despite two re-interventions on a ...
Abstract. Aortic trauma is a devastating injury often associated with significant polytrauma. Penetrating injury of the aorta is highly lethal and therefore rarely encountered in the hospital setting. The management ...
Abstract. Aortic injury remains a major contributor to morbidity and mortality from acute thoracic trauma. While such injuries were once nearly uniformly fatal, the advent of cross-sectional imaging in recent years ...
Abstract. Ultrasound has been established as an important diagnostic tool in assessing vascular abnormalities. Standard B-mode and Doppler techniques have inherent limitations with regards to detection of slow flow ...
Abstract.Background: The 2017 ACC/AHA blood pressure (BP) guidelines generated controversies due to the new proposed BP cut-off values defining hypertension. We aimed to assess aortic stiffness of subjects who are ...
Summary:Background: Our aim was to determine the rate of ischemic stroke following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) after reducing gas volume released during stentgraft deployment by de-airing of thoracic stentgrafts with high-volume of 0.9% ...
Summary:Background: To report technical success as well as perioperative outcomes of patients who underwent endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) of penetrating abdominal aortic ulcers ≤35 mm in diameter (PAU). Patients and methods: The ...
Summary:Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repairs (TAAA) is a common postoperative complication, associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Early detection and management of the ...
