Involvement of the aorta in brucellosis: the forgotten, life-threatening complication. A systematic review.
2012
Abstract Human brucellosis is a disease of protean manifestations, and has been implicated in complications and focal disease in many human organ systems. However, little is collectively known about the background, the course, the clinical characteristics, the diagnostic issues raised, and the short- and long-term therapeutic approaches in patients with aortic involvement as a complication of brucellosis. With the aim to glean from the literature useful information to better understand and manage this complication, a computerized search without language restriction was conducted using PubMed and SCOPUS. An article was considered eligible for inclusion in the systematic review if it reported…
Biomechanics of human ascending aorta and aneurysm rupture risk assessment
2021
Ascending aortic aneurysms (AsAA) and aortic dissections are life-threatening cardiovascular diseases. The main criteria for determining surgical intervention of AsAA are the maximum diameter or the increasing annual rate of the aneurysm. The mortality of the untreated aortic dissection can be 21% to 74%, depending on the delay of hospital admission.Our study aims to characterize the biomechanical properties of the ascending aorta and propose a patient-specific approach to assess the risks of rupture. The purpose of this PhD work is multifold.On the one hand, biaxial tensile tests were performed on AsAA samples obtained from one hundred patients with surgery of AsAA. The impact on the diffe…
Endovaskuläre Behandlung akuter Erkrankungender thorakalen Aorta
2002
Purpose To investigate the safety and efficacy of emergency treatment of acute aortic diseases with endovascular stent grafts. Methods In 11 patients (median age 55 years, range 18 - 85) with acute complications of descending aortic diseases endovascular emergency treatment was performed: traumatic aortic rupture (n = 4), penetrating ulcer with aortobronchial fistula or hematothorax (n = 4), acute type B dissection (n = 2, one with penetration, one with subacute mesenteric ischemia), and symptomatic aneurysm of the thoracic aorta (n = 1) with pain and diameter progression. 15 stent grafts were implanted (Talent n = 11, Vanguard/Stentor n = 4). Stent extension was necessary in 4 cases. In 2 …
Evidence of intimal tear in type A intramural hematoma of the aorta: A case series
2017
Highlights • We report two cases of type A intramural hematoma of the aorta. • We found radiological and intraoperative evidence of an intimal tear. • This finding supports the hypotesis that IMH belong to “aortic dissection” disease.
Desarrollo de un modelo predictivo de mortalidad a largo plazo y complicaciones relacionadas con la endoprótesis, en la reparacion endovascular de an…
2015
Desde el inicio de la reparación endovascular de aneurismas de aorta abdominal infra renal, la progresión de dicho tratamiento ha superado en numero al realizado anualmente mediante cirugía abierta convencional, en la mayoría de servicios de Cirugía Vascular. A ello ha contribuido principalmente la menor mortalidad operatoria los 30 días y al atractivo que supone para pacientes un procedimiento menos agresivo y para los profesionales, el ofrecer una alternativa en casos en los que la cirugía abierta sería inasumible por elevado riesgo. Sin embargo se pueden señalar dos puntos de controversia en dicha tendencia: -La menor tasa de mortalidad postoperatoria, puede hacer que se ofrezcan alterna…
Ventricular-vascular coupling in hypertension: methodological considerations and clinical implications.
2014
The present review is addressed to analyse the complex interplay between left ventricle and arterial tree in hypertension. The different methodological approaches to the analysis of ventricular vascular coupling in the time and frequency domain are discussed. Moreover, the role of hypertension-related changes of arterial structure and function (stiffness and wave reflection) on arterial load and how ventricular-vascular coupling modulates the process of left ventricular adaptation to hypertension are analysed.The different interplay between vascular bed and left ventricle emerges as the pathophysiological basis for the development of the multiple patterns of ventricular structural adaptatio…
Comparison of Flow Measurement by 4D Flow Magnetic Resonance Imaging and by Particles Image Velocimetry on Phantom of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
2016
International audience; Predicting the rupture of Aortic Aneurysms is a complex problem that interests, from several decades, many researchers. The works on this issue are very complex, involving both the study of mechanical behavior of the artery as the flow of blood. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique allows to obtain anatomic information of the arteries, than the flow inside thereof. The goal of this study is an inter comparison betweenflow data from MRI and those obtained by Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). An experimental device simulating hemodynamic circulation is used. Initially in order to validate the device, the flow in a cylindrical glass tube is measured by these t…
Analysis of fluorescent MRI contrast agent behavior in the liver and thoracic aorta of mice.
2004
To characterize the behavior of magnetofluorescent products injected in mice intravenously.The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) products were labelled with fluorescent molecules to examine the biodistribution process in vivo and observe them at the cellular level by means of confocal microscopy. Three-dimensional (3D) sequences of images were obtained by spectral analysis of sample preparations in a multiphoton confocal microscope and analyzed by the factor analysis of medical image sequence algorithm, which provides factor curves. Factor images are the result of image-processing methods that utilize information from emission spectra. Preparations are also screened in the counting mode to p…
