Endovascular treatment of aortic disorders has gained wide acceptance due to reduced
physiological burden to the patient compared to open surgery, and ongoing stent‐graft …

Ultrasound imaging has long been playing a central role in detecting abdominal aortic
aneurysms (AAAs). With a recent trend of reducing prevalence of AAAs, ultrasound …

Purpose: To evaluate the differential effects of endograft fabric types on pulse wave velocity
(PWV), a valid, clinically feasible marker of arterial stiffness, in patients undergoing …

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is usually asymptomatic until rupture, which is
associated with extremely high mortality. Consequently, the early detection of AAAs is of …

Objective Increased aortic stiffness (AoS) has been recognised as a risk factor in the
development of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis …

Background Limited data exist concerning the biomechanical and central hemodynamic
changes induced by endograft implantation in the descending thoracic aorta. The aim of this …

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of elective endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) on the
carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and central pressure waveform, through 1-year …

Objective Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is commonly defined as localised aortic
dilatation with a diameter> 30 mm. The pathophysiology of AAA includes chronic …

The mechanism of action of the Multilayer Flow Modulator (MFM; Cardiatis, Isnes, Belgium)
in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) still remains elusive to most …

Objective—Mounting evidence links osteoprotegerin with cardiovascular disease. Elevated
serum and aortic tissue osteoprotegerin are associated with the presence and growth of …
