Congenital Saccular Aneurysms of the Aortic Ring
IN SPITE OF, and also because of the great progress that has been made in the last decade in both clinical and basic research in the field of cardiovascular disease and in its application to the diagnosis and care of patients with heart disease, exact autopsy findings, in the event of death, have never been more important or more meaningful. With the rapid introduction of new technics, new tool...
متن کاملEpidemiological features of ruptured dissecting and saccular aortic aneurysms.
An analysis based upon necropsy figures has been made of the frequency of deaths with dissecting aneurysms and ruptured fusiform or saccular aortic aneurysms. More deaths from these conditions were found at necropsies conducted on people dying suddenly in the community than in those dying in hospital. Dissecting aneurysms were nearly all found to involve the thoracic segment of the aorta and we...
متن کاملAutosomal dominant inheritance of a predisposition to thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections and intracranial saccular aneurysms.
A genetic predisposition for thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (TAAD) can be inherited in an autosomal dominant manner with decreased penetrance and variable expression. Four genes identified to date for familial TAAD account for approximately 20% of the heritable predisposition. In a cohort of 514 families with two or more members with presumed autosomal dominant TAAD, 48 (9.3%) famili...
متن کاملBiomechanical Analysis of an Aortic Aneurysm Model and Its Clinical Application to Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms for Defining “Saccular” Aneurysms
BACKGROUND We aimed to develop a simple structural model of aortic aneurysms using computer-assisted drafting (CAD) in order to create a basis of definition for saccular aortic aneurysms. METHODS AND RESULTS We constructed a simple aortic aneurysm model with 2 components: a tube similar to an aorta and an ellipse analogous to a bulging aneurysm. Three parameters, including the vertical and ho...
متن کاملDefining the natural history of unruptured aneurysms.
Despite advances in neurosurgical technique, neuroanesthesia, and neurocritical care and the evolution of endovascular therapy, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) continues to be associated with poor outcome in a majority of patients. The 30-day mortality rate for SAH approaches 50%,1,2 and nearly one half of survivors suffer major neurologic morbidity. These dismal outcomes are especiall...
