Research Highlights: People diagnosed with unruptured cerebral aneurysms (weakened areas in brain blood vessels) who are being monitored without treatment have a higher risk of developing mental illness compared to those who have not been diagnosed.
Northwestern University researchers have developed the first physics-based metric to predict whether or not a person might someday suffer an aortic aneurysm, a deadly condition that often causes no symptoms until it ruptures.
Androgen has long been recognized for its pivotal role in the sexual dimorphism of cardiovascular diseases, including aortic aneurysms (AAs), a devastating vascular disease with a higher prevalence and fatality rate in men than in women. However, the mechanism by which androgen mediates AAs is largely unknown.
Obstructive sleep apnea may be a risk factor for developing abdominal aortic aneurysms, according to researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine and NextGen Precision Health.
The aim was to characterize the electrovectorcardiographic pattern of ventricular aneurysms in ischemic cardiopathy by analyzing the cardiac ventricular repolarization. The electrovectorcardiographic parameters showed high accuracy for recognizing left ventricular aneurysms in ischemic heart disease.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a significant source of mortality worldwide and carries a mortality of greater than 80% after rupture. Despite extensive efforts to develop pharmacological treatments, there is currently no effective agent to prevent aneurysm growth and rupture.
Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are rare vascular lesions that are more frequently found in women. All existing animal models need some pharmacological treatments, surgical interventions, or both to develop IAs, which is different from the spontaneous and natural development of aneurysms under the influence of the classical risk factors.
IntroductionThe accuracy of fenestrations in stent grafts for complex aortic aneurysms and dissections can be significantly improved using three-dimensional (3D)-printed phantoms. Standardization is enhanced by using artificial intelligence (AI) for image pre-processing before 3D printing.
to use the Gore EXCLUDER Thoracoabdominal Branch Endoprosthesis device for the treatment of an aortic aneurysm outside of a clinical trial. A vascular surgeon at Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Health has become the first in the U.S.
An aortic aneurysm is a very serious condition that occurs when the aorta (the largest artery in the body that comes off the heart) develops a bulb-like formation. Factors such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol can… Source
Idiopathic pulmonary aneurysm is a clinically rare condition characterized by an unknown etiology and episodic occurrence. Despite its rarity, idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm poses potential risks to patients. Subsequently, she underwent surgical treatment.
BackgroundAbdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a localized bulge of the abdominal aorta, which mainly manifests as a pulsatile mass in the abdomen. Once an abdominal aortic aneurysm ruptures, the patient's life is seriously endangered. Surgery is the preferred treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm.
LV aneurysm has QS-waves, so this couldn't be LV aneurysm, right? RBBB makes it mandatory that there are R'-waves even in the presence of LV aneurysm. Additionally, it is very difficult to differentiate subacute reperfused OMI from LV aneurysm: both have Q-waves and inverted T-waves. This is HIGHLY suspicious for OMI.
Objective This study aims to review the application of deep learning techniques in the imaging diagnosis and treatment of aortic aneurysm (AA), focusing on screening, diagnosis, lesion segmentation, surgical assistance, and prognosis prediction.
Left atrial appendage aneurysm is a rare cardiac mass, with only a few cases reported. There are usually no specific symptoms, and a few patients visit the doctor with symptoms.
We present a case of a 22-month-old boy with a hypokinetic and thin-walled aneurysm of the left ventricle apex. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed an akinetic aneurysm of the LV apex with a full-wall ischemic scar. Determining the origin of the aneurysm is challenging.
IntroductionThis study reports a patient who developed a secondary renal artery aneurysm (RAA) after occlusion of the main renal artery.MethodsA 25-year-old woman was hospitalized due to an enlarged renal artery aneurysm (RAA). The left kidney function remained normal, allowing successful aneurysm embolization.
Background The aim of this study is to explore the clinical value of computed tomography angiography (CTA) in the diagnosis of aortic aneurysm. Results There was no significant difference in the accuracy of diagnosing aortic aneurysms (P > 0.05) between DSA [98.33% (59/60)] and CTA [95.00% (57/60)].
We describe the echocardiographic features of a 22-year-old female with a giant aneurysm of membranous ventricular septum (AMVS). Both transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography.
BackgroundAorto-caval fistula is a rare complication of abdominal aortic aneurysms that can occur spontaneously, iatrogenically, or traumatically, associated with high morbidity and mortality. Computed tomography angiography revealed an aorto-caval fistula complicating infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm.
BackgroundRupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening emergency, with untreated cases nearing a 100% mortality rate. Emergency surgery included extracorporeal subclavian-femoral bypass and aneurysm resection. Imaging revealed a saccular infra-renal AAA rupture with an infected retroperitoneal hematoma.
In rare cases, it can lead to vascular complications, including infected aneurysms. We report a case of abdominal aortic aneurysm infected by C. burnetii treated by open surgery with complete resection of the aneurysm and homemade bovine pericardial bifurcated graft reconstruction and long-term antibiotherapy using doxycycline.
We explored the clinical significance of miR-28-5p pre- and post-endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients.
BACKGROUND:Recent studies show that hyperactivation of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling plays a causal role in the development of thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection. Hypertension, Ahead of Print. Modulation of PP2A (protein phosphatase 2A) activity has been shown to be of significant therapeutic value.
There are QS-waves in V1-V3 suggesting old anterior MI with persistent ST Elevation (LV aneurysm morphology), but I have written a couple papers showing that in LV aneurysm, the T-wave is not > 0.36 T/QRS Amplitude Best Distinguishes Acute Anterior MI from Anterior Left Ventricular Aneurysm. LV Aneurysm vs New Infarction?
Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA) remain one of the most clinically challenging and technically complex emergencies in contemporary vascular surgery practice.
Bronchial artery aneurysm (BAA) is a rare and fatal condition that requires immediate treatment. In the present case, a 76-year-old hypertensive woman was admitted with dizziness and diagnosed with an unruptured bronchial artery aneurysm, which was treated by transcatheter arterial embolization and aortic stent-graft.
Background:Up to 5% of patients with infective endocarditis (IE) develop intracranial mycotic aneurysms (MA) with nearly 25% of these patients having multiple intracranial aneurysms. Therefore, accurate diagnosis of intracerebral aneurysms is critical. The sensitivity of CTA for aneurysms 5mm was 100%.
Background:Cerebral aneurysm rupture has a poor prognosis, and a growing aneurysm is prone to rupture. Although hemodynamics is thought to play an important role in aneurysm growth, it is not well understood what hemodynamic environments are involved.
Introduction:Clinical studies have shown an association between aging and the risk of intracranial aneurysm rupture. Our preliminary data showed the accumulation of senescent cells in both human and mouse intracranial aneurysms, suggesting their potential role in the pathophysiology of intracranial aneurysms.
The best approach for ablating ventricular tachycardia (VT) targeting right ventricular free wall (RVFW) aneurysms in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) remains undefined.
BACKGROUNDThe rate of underlying ruptured aneurysms, complications, and their relevance to outcomes in “benign” perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage are not well known and underreported.METHODSRetrospective analysis of patients with perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage from a large tertiary care center (2007–2022).RESULTSEighty‐one
Coronary aneurysm, a dilated segment of the coronary artery, is a rare condition with a prevalence ranging from 0.02% to 0.2%. According to the current literature, reports of large aneurysms in the left main artery are extremely rare. Due to the high surgical risk, conservative treatment was chosen.
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is an extremely rare condition, and its rupture causes acute symptoms such as chest pain and dyspnea. Ruptured SVA is frequently associated with other congenital defects.
Background:Managing unruptured intracranial aneurysms (IAs) involves balancing procedural risks with the long-term risk of rupture. Aneurysm wall enhancement (AWE) has been associated with aneurysm instability and symptomatic presentation. Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A77-A77, February 1, 2025.
Introduction:Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are weak outpouchings on cerebral vessels that can rupture, causing subarachnoid hemorrhage. Conclusion:In this study, we demonstrated that radiomics from the aneurysm wall alone have a low predictive value in identifying symptomatic IAs. The LOO accuracy improved to 85.7% (66.6%
Objective:The growth of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (IAs) is regarded as a critical precursor to aneurysmal rupture. Accurately predicting aneurysm growth is crucial for appropriate therapeutic interventions to prevent rupture in high-risk aneurysms. The average age was 63.911.7 years, with 74.9%
Giant coronary artery aneurysms are rare conditions with potentially devastating consequences. We report a case of the largest documented giant right coronary artery (RCA) aneurysm to date.
Previous studies have reported a protective effect of type 2 diabetes on the incidence and progression of aortic aneurysms. We investigated whether this protective effect extends to aortic dissections.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a disease characterized by localized dilation of the abdominal aorta, involving multiple factors in its occurrence and development, ultimately leading to vessel rupture and severe bleeding. AAA has a high mortality rate, and there is a lack of targeted therapeutic drugs.
Conventional graft replacement for a juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (JRAAA) remains challenging for high-risk patients since it often requires the reconstruction of some visceral arteries.
Background:Detection of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) is a time consuming and error prone process. The definition of the correct diagnosis of the location was that the center of the aneurysm diagnosed by the AI system is within the area of the IA of ground truth. In total 1213 IAs, 78% were small aneurysms of 2 to 5 mm.
Thus, this is either: 1) a subacute MI with a significant (large amount) of completed infarction, or 2) old MI with persistent ST Elevation (LV aneurysm). The patient is pain free now, so it is either a reperfused subacute MI or a Non-OMI superimposed on an old MI (aneurysm). No convincing evidence for LV thrombus.
