Thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) is an aggressive vascular disease that requires early
diagnosis and effective treatment. However, due to the particular vascular structure and …

Mechanical characteristics of both the healthy ascending aorta and acute type A aortic
dissection were investigated using in vitro biaxial tensile tests, in vivo measurements via …

Objectives Open-distal anastomosis is the preferred technique over clamp-on technique for
surgical repair of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). The aim of this study was to define …

Objective To analyze presentation, management, and outcomes of acute aortic dissections
with proximal entry tear in the arch. Methods Patients enrolled in the International Registry of …

Background Female sex is known to have increased perioperative mortality in cardiac
surgery. Studies reporting effects of sex on outcome following surgical repair for acute Type …

Pathological impairment of elastic fiber and other extracellular matrix (ECM) components are
described for the aortic media of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (aTAA) but the exact …

Background. Aortic dissection (AD) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) share the same
risk factors. Whereas the incidence of AAA is falling, it is unclear whether population-based …

Background This study aimed to investigate whether miR‐146a‐5p was involved in the
pathogenesis of thoracic aortic dissection (AD) via regulating the biological function of …

Thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) is a highly lethal vascular disease characterized by medial
degeneration. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) had been proved as a potential target for a …

Aortic aneurysms are associated with fatal aortic rupture. Current therapeutic approaches
are limited to implantation of aortic prostheses and stent-grafts; no effective drugs are …
