Abstract Aim The “2022 ACC/AHA Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Aortic
Disease” provides recommendations to guide clinicians in the diagnosis, genetic evaluation …

Objectives This study sought to assess the predictive value of wall shear stress (WSS) for
colocalized ascending aorta (AAo) growth rate (GR) in patients with bicuspid aortic valve …

Background Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a potentially life-threatening disorder with a
strong genetic component. The number of genes implicated in TAA has increased …

Thoracic aortic diseases, including disease of the descending thoracic aorta (DTA), are
significant causes of death in the United States. Open repair of the DTA is a physiologically …

Background Patients with connective tissue diseases are at high lifetime risk of developing
thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) due to defects in extracellular matrix composition which …

Aims This study aims to outline the 'true'natural history of ascending thoracic aortic
aneurysm (ATAA) based on a cohort of patients not undergoing surgical intervention …

We present a novel framework for the fluid dynamics analysis of healthy subjects and
patients affected by ascending thoracic aorta aneurysm (aTAA). Our aim is to obtain …

Objective: ascending aortic aneurysm growth prediction is still challenging in clinics. In this
study, we evaluate and compare the ability of local and global shape features to predict the …

Objective/Background Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) play important roles in many
diseases. However, their roles in sporadic thoracic aortic aneurysm (STAA) are unclear …

The current guidelines for the ascending aortic aneurysm (AsAA) treatment recommend
surgery mainly according to the maximum diameter assessment. This criterion has already …
