Carotid artery atherosclerotic stenosis is an important annual cause of stroke in the United States. Moreover, the incidence of carotid artery stenosis is significantly increasing due to the widespread popularity of high fat and high salt diets, sedentary lifestyles, and the increasing age of the population. Of major importance to cardiovascular specialists is the fact that individuals with atherosclerotic carotid artery stenosis can have a prevalence of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease as high as 50 to 75%.

Transaortic endarterectomy (TE) is an effective and durable method of restoring patency in the aorta afflicted with atherosclerotic disease, which most commonly affects the infrarenal aorta and common iliac artery. When the suprarenal aorta is involved, the disease is usually confined to the orifices of the visceral vessels without obstruction of the aortic lumen. In rare cases, dense, calcified, exophytic, and amorphous lesions causing severe luminal obstruction, termed coral reef atherosclerosis (CRA) of the suprarenal aorta, may occur.

Objective: Coral reef atherosclerosis of the visceral aorta (CRA) is associated with renovascular hypertension (RVH), chronic mesenteric ischaemia (CMI), and malperfusion of the lower limbs. The outcomes of open surgery for this rare disease are described in this paper.

Methods: This retrospective study included all patients who underwent open surgical repair of CRA at a single high volume referral centre between January 2009 and June 2023.

FSCN1 is a Potential Therapeutic Target for Atherosclerosis Revealed by Single-Cell and Bulk RNA Sequencing.

J Inflamm Res

November 2024

Department of Cardiology, Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University, Institute Cardiovascular Disease of Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, 212001, People's Republic of China.

Background: Atherosclerosis (AS) is the major cause of cardiovascular disease. Using integrated single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing data of atherosclerosis, we aimed to investigate the cell phenotype, intercellular communication, and potential therapeutic target in AS.

Methods: Single-cell sequencing data from aortic arch of Apoe mice in normal diet (ND) and high fat diet (HFD) groups (obtained from GSE206239) were analyzed by Seurat, singleR, ReactomeGSA, and cellchat package.
