The aortic stent graft market is expected to benefit from the following trends:

Contrast CT demonstrated ruptured type B aortic dissection with massive right hemothorax [Figure 1].

Aortic valve stenosis is the process of thickening and stiffening in the aortic valve, which can result in an abnormal narrowing of the aortic valve opening and reduction in blood flow.

Aortic dissections are three times more common among men and are more common among African-Americans.

With traditional surgical aortic valve replacement, the cardiac surgeon removes the diseased valve and sutures in a replacement.

While uncomplicated type B dissection can usually be managed with conservative treatment, type A dissection is a surgical emergency.[10] With improving technology and convincing long-term outcomes in favor of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), there is growing consensus for TEVAR to be used for both complicated and uncomplicated Type B aortic dissection.[8],[11] After discharge, antihypertensive medicine was administered.

While image acquisition will greatly depend on hardware, ECG-gating or ultra-high pitch acquisition is recommended when available, as this will limit cardiac motion particularly at the aortic root.

Among those who had quit smoking for three to eight years (recent quitters) still had an approximately 2.6 to 3.5 fold increased risk for both clinical and asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm in the next 15 years compared to never smokers.

Right ventricular obstruction in aortic dissection: a mechanism of hemodynamic collapse.

These findings raise important issues that associate systemic lupus erythematosus with the pathophysiology, prevention, and treatment of aortic dissection and aortic aneurysm.

Based on vegetations attached to aortic valve cusps and positive blood culture for staphylococcus Aureus, the diagnosis of infective endocarditis was made.

Critical aortic stenosis (CAS) is a rare and important disease in newborns.

It revealed a nonadherent thrombus of 20 mm long in the distal part of aortic arch (Figures 1 and 2).
