thoracic aortic aneurysm การใช้

• Forsch died suddenly from a thoracic aortic aneurysm on November 3, 2011.
• Thoracic aortic aneurysms occur on the aorta as it passes through the chest cavity.
• A major vascular cause of hemothorax is aortic dissection or rupture of thoracic aortic aneurysms.
• Certain mutations in the MYLK gene are associated with thoracic aortic aneurysms or thoracic aortic dissections.
• However, a syphilitic aneurysm is more likely to be a thoracic aortic aneurysm than an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
• A thoracic aortic aneurysm is the " ballooning " of the upper aspect of the aorta, above the diaphragm.
• The most common ones are aortic unfolding, traumatic aortic rupture, thoracic aortic aneurysm, and traumatic thoracic vertebral fracture.
• The gene TGFBR2 has been implicated in several connective tissue disorders including Marfan syndrome, arterial tortuosity, and thoracic aortic aneurysm.
• Thoracic aortic aneurysms leading to acute aortic dissections ( TAAD ) can be inherited in isolation or in association with genetic syndromes, such as Marfan syndrome and Loeys-Dietz syndrome.
• It has been related to Moyamoya disease and it seems likely that certain mutations in heterozygosis could confer a predisposition to many vascular pathologies, such as thoracic aortic aneurysm and ischaemic heart disease.
• The most common historical cause is a dilated left atrium due to mitral stenosis, but other causes, including pulmonary hypertension, thoracic aortic aneurysms, an enlarged pulmonary artery and aberrant subclavian artery syndrome have been reported compressing the nerve.
• Apart from his wide surgical spectrum in cardiac and thoracic surgery his areas of core competence include operations for aortic aneurysms ( especially thoracic aortic aneurysms ), surgery for pulmonary hypertension, heart valve reconstruction, and in particular aortic valve reconstruction.
• One example in the treatment of thoracic aortic disease is revascularization of the left common carotid artery and / or the left subclavian artery from the innominate artery or the right common carotid artery to allow treatment of a thoracic aortic aneurysm that encroaches proximally into the aortic arch.
• Yasbeck worked with Dianna M . Milewicz, MD, PhD at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston ( UTHealth ) to establish the John Ritter Research Program in Aortic and Vascular Diseases with the goal of preventing premature deaths due to aortic dissection by identifying genetic mutations that predispose individuals to thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections.
• Tran-Fadulu V, Pannu H, Kim DH, Vick GW 3rd, Lonsford CM, Lafont AL, Boccaladro C, Smart S, Peterson KL, Hain JZ, Willing MC, Coselli JS, LeMaire SA, Ahn C, Byers PH, Milewicz DM : Analysis of multigenerational families with thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections due to TGFBR1 or TGFBR2 mutations.
• It includes : 1 ) Coronary heart disease ( CHD ) : Myocardial infarction ( MI ), angina pectoris, heart failure ( HF ), and coronary death . 2 ) Cerebrovascular disease, stroke and transient ischemic attack ( TIA ) . 3 ) Peripheral arterial disease, intermittent claudication and significant limb ischemia . 4 ) Aortic disease : Aortic atherosclerosis, thoracic aortic aneurysm, and abdominal aortic aneurysm.
• Some of the cardiac surgeries they train for include the following : coronary artery bypass surgery ( CABG ) both on cardiopulmonary bypass as well as on a beating heart, heart valve surgery, aortic reconstruction requiring deep hypothermic arrest, mechanical ventricular assist device ( VAD ) placement, thoracic aortic aneurysm repair, aortic dissection repair, heart transplants, lung transplants, heart / lung transplants, and adult congenital heart surgery.
