The value of volume measurement in CT in the follow-up of Stanford B aortic dissection after TEVAR.
BMC Cardiovasc Disord
November 2024
Kangda College of Nanjing Medical University (Lianyungang City First People's Hospital), Lianyungang, 222002, China.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of dual-source CT with volumetric measurement for monitoring patients with Stanford Type B aortic dissection after intrathoracic aortic repair (TEVAR).
- It followed 40 patients at 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery, measuring the diameters, areas, and volumes of the true and false lumens in various sections of the aorta.
- Results showed significant changes in the measurements, indicating that volumetric assessment is a more accurate way to gauge the remodeling of aortic dissection compared to just using diameter and area measurements.
A Revolutionary Device for Endovascular Aortic Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: A Pilot Study.
F1000Res
November 2024
Department of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine University of Indonesia, University of Indonesia Academic Hospital, National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita, Jakarta, Jakarta, 11420, Indonesia.
Article Synopsis
- Endovascular repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) has been the preferred method since 1991, with new techniques like contralateral gate cannulation being developed to enhance the process.
- A new device called the Taofan and Kang (T&K) bidirectional endovascular aortic repair (B-EVAR) was introduced, utilizing a unique approach to deploy stent grafts through both femoral arteries while ensuring safety and effectiveness.
- In a pilot study involving six patients, the T&K B-EVAR showed promising results with no complications or prolonged hospital stays, indicating it simplifies the AAA repair process and could be beneficial for a wider range of patients.
Retroesophageal Left Brachiocephalic Vein with Right-Sided Aortic Arch in Tetralogy of Fallot: A Rare Venous Anomaly Demonstrated on Computed Tomography Angiography.
Methodist Debakey Cardiovasc J
November 2024
Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla, India.
A 14-year-old child with recurrent cyanotic spells at the age of 9 months underwent echocardiography at that time, which revealed tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Follow-up computed tomography angiography revealed TOF with valvular pulmonary stenosis and a right-sided aortic arch with mirror image branching. Interestingly, an unusual anomalous course of the left brachiocephalic vein was seen.

Ann Vasc Surg
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka, Japan.
Background: Kommerell's diverticulum (KD) is associated with a high incidence of right-sided aortic arch (RAA). Hybrid thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is an effective and less invasive alternative to open repair. However, the long-term results regarding KD diameter regression or symptom improvement remain inadequately described.

Ann Vasc Surg
January 2025
Operative Unit of Vascular Surgery, IRCCS Policlinico San Donato, Milan, Italy; Department of Biomedical Sciences for Health, University of Milan, Milan, Italy.
Background: To characterize the variation of the renal arteries' origin from the aorta, through examination of computed tomography angiographies (CTAs) in a cohort of patients, and to evaluate any gender-related difference.
Methods: CTA of the thoracoabdominal district in patients with a nondilated aorta (group A), patients with aortic aneurysm involving the origin of splanchnic and/or renal vessels (group B), and patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (group C), were retrospectively analyzed. The diameter and angles of emergence (axial and craniocaudal) of the renal arteries were measured, as well as their mutual distance, and the distance between the renal vessels and the superior mesenteric artery/the aortic bifurcation.
