and age on the distensibility of the ascending and descending aortas in patients with aortic coarctation. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting The study was conducted at two university medical ...

Abstract: Objective: Ultrasound-based aortic stiffness estimation has the potential to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), as a complement to ...

Background: Coarctation of the aorta (CoA), is a congenital malformation, often combined with several cardiac abnormalities. At present, the operation effect is satisfactory, but postoperative ...

Other outcomes included arch reintervention, aortic valve intervention, ascending aortic intervention, and residual/re-coarctation and resting hypertension at latest follow-up. Results After a median ...

To test this hypothesis, we studied adults with repaired COA without significant residual COA (COA mean gradient ≤20 mm Hg) or left-sided valve disease (mitral mean gradient ≤5 mm Hg, aortic mean ...

The mechanism of action of NIUT consists of generating microscopic cavitation bubbles with short, high-pressure ultrasound pulses focused on the AV. As cavitation bubbles collapse, they produce shock ...

Background: To evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness and assistant effect of 3D printed aortic model in the treatment on congenital coarctation of the aorta (CoA) in adolescents and adults. Methods: ...
