Future generations of aortic specialists will not only need to master endovascular techniques but also collectively work to preserve the open aortic skill set.

Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) refers to a rare but very serious congenital heart defect in which there is a gap between the ascending and descending segments of the aorta, namely, in the arch of the ...

Aortic arch anomalies and vascular rings represent a spectrum of congenital malformations that can significantly affect airway and oesophageal function. These anomalies arise from aberrations in the ...

The aortic arch is the portion of the main artery that bends between the ascending and descending aorta. It leaves the heart and ascends, then descends back to create the arch. The aorta distributes ...

The aortic arch is subject to diverse congenital anomalies that may result in significant clinical challenges. Variations in arch laterality or branching patterns can lead to the formation of vascular ...

A break at point A or B, with persistence of the right dorsal aortic root (RDAR), would result in a left aortic arch with either a blind pouch (point A) or a pouch giving origin to a retroesophageal ...

A beveled aortic hemiarch replacement is a surgical procedure to repair an aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection in the ascending aorta and arch of the aorta. This procedure involves removing the ...

Your aorta is a tube-like structure that resembles a candy cane. The thoracoabdominal aorta starts after the curve of the cane and extends past the arteries that deliver blood to the stomach, ...

Background In patients with dextro-transposition of the great arteries, cardiovascular interventions and complications are ...

Sometimes the aorta—the largest blood vessel in our bodies—can tear, allowing blood to flow between layers of the aortic wall. This dissection can block blood from flowing to other parts of the body, ...

A Vizag hospital successfully performs a pioneering hybrid procedure for chronic Type B Aortic Dissection, marking a regional medical milestone.

Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is a rare congenital heart condition first described by Steidele in 1773. The condition accounts for less than 1% of congenital heart conditions and is part of a broader ...
