Background and Aims: Aim: Pathological vascular remodeling is the underlying cause of main cardiovascular diseases (CVD) including atherosclerosis abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Diminished smooth muscle cell (VSMC) content a key mechanism atherosclerotic plaques AAA instability. We hypothesized that Galectin-1 (Gal-1) could exert protective effects in as previously demonstrated different chro...

We report three patients with a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm (DTAA) and a separate infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) who had initial endovascular repair of the DTAA followed by repair of AAA. Endovascular stent repair of DTAA avoids the significant morbidity associated with thoracotomy and open repair. Hence more patients with multilevel aortic aneurysm may be eligible for surg...

A 68-year-old man with hypertension presented a sudden onset of abdominal pain radiating to the back. An ultrasound revealed large peripherally thrombosed pseudoaneurysm infra-abdominal aorta. CT angiogram confirmed aortic aneurysm (AAA) maximum

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) may present with subtle clinical findings. Recognition of the imaging features of an impending rupture is key for timely diagnosis. This report reviews the classic computed tomography findings of impending AAA rupture and presents a recent case which illustrates the key features.

this study was conducted to monitor the rate of inpatient mortality and its associated factors following open reconstruction of abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa) in a tertiary hospital in tehran, iran. this retrospective study was a chart review of 112 patients undergoing open in­frarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery in one of the main tertiary hospitals in tehran, iran. baseline data (demog...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Oxidative stress during abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair is likely to result as a response to an ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) to the lower limbs and gastrointestinal tract. This paper reviews the oxidative stress during AAA repair, with specific reference to biological markers and the potential antioxidant's protective effect. EVIDENCE AND INFORMATION SOUR...
