Abstract Aim The “2022 ACC/AHA Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Aortic
Disease” provides recommendations to guide clinicians in the diagnosis, genetic evaluation …

Large aortic aneurysm and acute and chronic aortic dissection are pathologies of the aorta
requiring surgery. Recent advances in medical intervention have improved patient …

Background: Blood flow patterns can alter material properties of ascending thoracic aortic
aneurysms (ATAA) via vascular wall remodeling. This study examines the relationship …

Disease” provides recommendations to guide clinicians in the diagnosis, genetic evaluation …

Atlas-based analyses of patients with cardiovascular diseases have recently been explored
to understand the mechanistic link between shape and pathophysiology. The construction of …

Objective Ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms carry a risk of acute type A dissection.
Elective repair guidelines are designed around size thresholds, but the 1-dimensional …

Background Guidelines for sinus of Valsalva (SOV)-thoracic aortic aneurysms in Marfan
syndrome recommend size-based criteria for elective surgical repair. Biomechanics may …

In ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (ATAAs), aneurysm kinematics are driven by
ventricular traction occurring every heartbeat, increasing the stress level of dilated aortic …
