Further studies are needed to determine whether prophylactic stent graft placement will improve outcomes in a selected subset of patients with uncomplicated descending aortic dissection.

Plaque hardens over time and may restrict blood flow. There are often no symptoms until either the plaque ruptures the artery (arterial thrombosis), or balloons out to form an aneurysm. Treatment ...

Detection of sclerodegenerative changes of the aortic cusps in an older asymptomatic individual may be associated with normal blood flow velocity. A mild increase in blood flow velocity (1.5-1.7 m ...

Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IA) with use of flow diverters (FD), coils and endosaccular implants has been challenged by incomplete occlusion in up to 50% of the patients, delayed ...

Objective: This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effects of blood flow restriction (BFR) training on cardiometabolic health and body composition in adults with overweight and obesity. Conclusion: ...

ANEURYSMS of the thoracic aorta may be of diverse etiology. Atherosclerosis, syphilis, medial degeneration, trauma and occasionally sepsis have been implicated. 1–4 The present case represents a ...

Abstract: Precise measurement of the blood flow velocity in major arteries is important for the assessment of circulation dysfunction but challenging when using a one-dimensional (1D) ultrasound ...

Background This multicenter study evaluated the safety and efficacy of coated flow diverters (cFDs) for the treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms. Methods Consecutive patients treated with ...

In the Arnall Patz Lecture, Richard F. Spaide, MD, discussed advancements in modern OCT technology that allow for the measurement of blood flow velocity in retinal blood vessels. Spaide noted that ...

Abstract: Continuous monitoring of dynamic blood pressure (BP) is crucial for cardiovascular ... waveforms from dual sites and calculates the incremental local pulse wave velocity (PWV) beat-to-beat ...
