Abnormal blood flow in the aorta is linked to inflammation and breakdown of the vessel wall in conditions where the aorta is dilated. This is shown in a study led by researchers at Linköping ...

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 ...

In 44 patients with suspected dissecting aneurysm of the aorta, an aortographic diagnosis of dissection, based on the demonstration of a narrowed true lumen and of a false channel, was made in 23.
