Advances and challenges in regenerative therapies for abdominal aortic aneurysm

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

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.

A bibliometric analysis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (2014–2024)

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

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.

Diabetes does not increase in-hospital or short-term mortality in patients undergoing surgical repair for type A aortic dissection: insight from the national readmission database

Cardiovascular Diabetology

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.

Causal relationship between mitochondrial proteins and risks of aortic aneurysms and aortic dissection: a Mendelian randomization study

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Mitochondrial dysfunction may be linked to the development of aortic aneurysm (AA) and aortic dissection (AD). This study aimed to evaluate the potential associations between proteins related to mitochondrial.

Case Report: Combined transcatheter arterial embolization and aortic stent-graft have better efficacy for bronchial artery aneurysms

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

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.

Study on the clinical value of computed tomography angiography in the diagnosis of aortic aneurysm

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

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)].
