Objective New tools are urgently needed to help with surgical decision-making in type B
aortic dissection (TBAD) that is uncomplicated at the time of initial presentation. This …

Dissection of an artery is characterised by the separation of the layers of the arterial wall
causing blood to flow within the wall. The incidence rates of thoracic aortic dissection (AoD) …

Background The management and prognosis of aortic dissection (AD) is often challenging
and the use of personalised computational models is being explored as a tool to improve …

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 …

Aortic dissection is the most common acute catastrophic event affecting the thoracic aorta.
The majority of patients presenting with an uncomplicated type B dissection are treated …

Aortic dissection has high morbidity and mortality rates and guidelines regarding surgical
intervention are not clearly defined. The treatment of aortic dissection varies with each …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) patients are at high risk of stroke, with the left atrial appendage (LAA)
found to be the most common site of clot formation. Presence of left atrial (LA) fibrosis has …

OBJECTIVES: Outcome prediction in DeBakey Type III aortic dissections (ADs) remains
challenging. Large variations in AD morphology, physiology and treatment exist. Here, we …

Development of many conditions and disorders, such as atherosclerosis and stroke, are
dependent upon hemodynamic forces. To accurately predict and prevent these conditions …

To develop a better understanding of the hemodynamic alterations in the ascending aorta,
induced by variation of the cannula outflow position of the left ventricular assist device …
