Chronic infusion of angiotensin-II in atheroprone (ApoE−/−) mice provides a reproducible
model of dissection in the suprarenal abdominal aorta, often with a false lumen and …

Aortic dissection (AoD) is a common condition that often leads to life-threatening
cardiovascular emergency. From a biomechanics viewpoint, AoD involves failure of load …

Credible computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations of aortic dissection are challenging,
because the defining parallel flow channels—the true and the false lumen—are separated …

Animal models of aortic aneurysm and dissection can enhance our limited understanding of
the etiology of these lethal conditions particularly because early-stage longitudinal data are …

Aortic dissections progress, in part, by delamination of the wall. Previous experiments on cut-
open segments of aorta demonstrated that fluid injected within the wall delaminates the …

Abdominal aortic aneurysms are focal dilatations of the aorta; they typically progress to
rupture, which is responsible for increasing morbidity and mortality in our aging society. It is …

Aortic dissection is a disease whereby an injury in the wall of the aorta leads to the creation
of a true lumen and a false lumen separated by an intimal flap which may contain multiple …

High lethality of aortic dissection necessitates accurate predictive metrics for dissection risk
assessment. The not infrequent incidence of dissection at aortic diameters< 5.5 cm, the …

Understanding the complex interplay between morphologic and hemodynamic features in
aortic dissection is critical for risk stratification and for the development of individualized …

Aortic dissection is a life-threatening vascular disease associated with high rates of
morbidity and mortality, especially in medically underserved communities. Understanding …
