Feasibility of measuring magnetic resonance elastography-derived stiffness in human thoracic aorta and aortic dissection phantoms.

Type B aortic dissection (TBAD) represents a serious medical emergency with up to a 50% associated 5-year mortality caused by thoracic aorta, dissection-associated aneurysmal (DAA) degeneration, and rupture. Unfortunately, conventional size-related diagnostic methods cannot distinguish high-risk DAAs that benefit from surgical intervention from stable DAAs. Our goal is to use DAA stiffness measured with magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) as a biomarker to distinguish high-risk DAAs from stable DAAs.

We report a case of mesenteric ischemia after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for chronic type B aortic dissection performed at a different institution. Computed tomography angiography findings indicated that the previous TEVAR had been deployed distally into the false lumen. To mitigate this, a large fenestration was created between the false lumen and true lumen.

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is characterized by the proteolytic breakdown of the extracellular matrix, leading to dilatation of the aorta and increased risk of rupture. Biomarkers that can predict major adverse aortic events (MAAEs) are needed to risk stratify patients for more rigorous medical treatment and potential earlier surgical intervention.
Objectives: The primary objective was to identify the association between baseline levels of these biomarkers and MAAEs over a period of 5 years.
Ascending aorta dilatation for pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect: a report of three adult cases.

The First Hospital of Tsinghua University, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.
Background: Patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect (PA/VSD) are prone to progressive aortic dilation. However, there are relatively few reports of progressive development of aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection in adult patients who missed early corrective surgery.
Presentation Of Cases: Case 1: A 38-year-old man with PA/VSD and a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), underwent VSD repair, aortic valve replacement, and PA correction at age 21.

Aortic intimal sarcoma is a rare disease with no established treatment and a poor prognosis. A 70-year-old man who underwent surgery for a mass shadow extending from the ascending aorta to the left common carotid artery on contrast-enhanced computed tomography was diagnosed with intimal sarcoma and underwent postoperative radiotherapy (66 Gy/33 Fr). Three brain metastases were identified after 1.
