Pregnant women are more likely to face cardiovascular disease than non-pregnant women. However, abdominal aortic aneurysm is an extremely rare complication of pregnancy. Abdominal aortic aneurysms in pregnancy are difficult to identify in the early stage and are often diagnosed only when the symptoms have manifested. We report the case of a multiparous 35-year-old patient with a history of abnormal ascending aorta and ruled-out Marfan syndrome by genetic testing. After a multidisciplinary medical team evaluation, she delivered a live baby by cesarean section at 37 weeks of gestation, and the abdominal aortic aneurysm was repaired simultaneously. This case offers evidence-based recommendations for obstetricians to carry out preventive imaging examination for pregnant women with similar risk factors and provide successful experience in prenatal examination for similar diseases.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a systemic and generalized arteriomegaly in mice and humans.

Although the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) remains largely unclear, evidence is accumulating to suggest the systemic nature of this disease. Here, we comprehensively assessed the whole aortic tree with its major branches based on computed tomography angiography (CTA) in AAA patients compared to ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (ATAA) patients and nonaneurysmal controls, as well as in an original mouse model of AAA in Lkb1;Myh11-Cre/ERT2 mice. The morphology and dimensions of the whole aorta (at different levels) and its major branches were compared among 47 AAA patients, 47 ATAA patients, and 46 nonaneurysmal controls based on CTA images.

A 50-year-old female presented with abdominal pain. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a 30 mm ulcerative lesion extending from the duodenal bulb to the descending portion, and biopsy confirmed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Abdominal contrast-enhanced CT scan showed an hypovascular tumor in the pancreatic head with suspected invasion into the duodenum, along with enlarged #8 lymph node.

Background: This study aims to analyze the patient characteristics, clinical outcomes, and contemporary trends concerning type A aortic dissection (TAAD) in previous recipients of abdominal solid organ transplantation (ASOT) in the United States.
Methods: The National Inpatient Sample was queried to identify all patients aged ≥18 with TAAD and a history of ASOT (TAAD-ASOT) between 2002 and 2015Q3 using ICD-9 diagnosis and procedure codes. Baseline characteristics and in-hospital outcomes were compared between TAAD-ASOT patients and TAAD patients without a history of ASOT (TAAD-non-ASOT).
Identification of endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated lncRNAs influencing inflammation and VSMC function in abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Clin Sci (Lond)

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress plays a critical role in the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), a life-threatening disease characterized by inflammation, destructive remodeling and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) dysfunction. The current therapy relies on surgical repair, but no effective pharmacological strategies are available to limit aneurysm progression. LncRNAs are essential factors in health and disease, however, their specific contribution to AAA development and its relationship with ER stress remains unexplored.

The celiac ganglia are a network of nerve fibers that regulate various functions related to digestion, while the celiac trunk is a major artery that supplies oxygenated blood to the stomach, small intestine, and other organs in the upper abdominal region. Anatomical variants of these structures are common and can have significant implications for surgical and medical procedures. This prospective observational study was conducted over one year and included 300 patients (aged 45-75 years) with a history of peripheral arterial disease, evaluated at Dr.
