The vasa vasorum are a vital microvascular network supporting the outer wall of larger blood
vessels. Although these dynamic microvessels have been studied for centuries, the …

Arterial dissections, which involve an abrupt tear in the wall of a major artery resulting in the
intramural accumulation of blood, are a family of catastrophic disorders causing major …

Aims The incidence of acute aortic dissection (AAD) has been shown to have seasonal
variation, but whether this variation can be explained by non-optimum ambient temperature …

Aortic dissection (AD) is a critical cardiovascular condition with the potential for devastating
consequences. This study evaluated the histological changes in the aorta wall in patients …

Background Low temperatures are adverse contributors to cardiovascular diseases, but the
associations between short-term exposure to cold and the risk of death from aortic dissection …

Pathologies of the aortic root amenable to repair with valve preservation include aneurysm
formation, development of aortic insufficiency (AI) and aortic dissection. In the normal aortic …

This paper deals with the mathematical modeling of atherosclerosis based on a novel
hypothesis proposed by a surgeon, Prof. Dr. Axel Haverich (Circulation 135 (3): 205–207 …

It is known that vasa vasorum contributes substantially to the blood supply and nutrition of
one-third of the wall of the ascending thoracic aorta. Therefore, we focused on studying the …

Patients with COVID-19 demonstrate higher rates of cardiovascular complications, including
thromboses and thromboembolism. One may suppose that the action of SARS-CoV-2 …

The pathogenesis of aortic aneurysm and dissection continues to be under discussion.
Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling processes in the aortic wall are hypothesized to be …
