Computational simulations demonstrate altered wall shear stress in aortic coarctation patients treated by resection with end-to-end anastomosis.
BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic plaque in the descending thoracic aorta (dAo) is related to altered wall shear stress (WSS) for normal patients. Resection with end-to-end anastomosis (RWEA) is the gold standard for coarctation of the aorta (CoA) repair, but may lead to altered WSS indices that contribute to morbidity. METHODS Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models were created from imaging and ...
متن کاملHemodynamic and clinical appraisal of coarctation four to seven years after resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the aorta.
This study was undertaken to ascertain whether coarctation of the aorta produces permanent hemodynamic abnormalities that may persist despite resection and end-to-end anastomosis. The results of studies in 10 patients 4 to 7 years after operation are compared to those obtained before and immediately after operation. The most significant finding was continued decrease in residual coarctation, in...
متن کاملFlow and wall shear stress in end-to-side and side-to-side anastomosis of venous coronary artery bypass grafts
PURPOSE Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery represents the standard treatment of advanced coronary artery disease. Two major types of anastomosis exist to connect the graft to the coronary artery, i.e., by using an end-to-side or a side-to-side anastomosis. There is still controversy because of the differences in the patency rates of the two types of anastomosis. The purpose of this pap...
متن کاملAortic wall abnormalities in patients with aortic coarctation
Background Aortic coarctation (AC) represents 7% of congenital heart disease. It is a reversible secondary cause of systemic hypertension, however up to 35% of patients remain hypertensive and 18% have cardiovascular complications such as aortic aneurysm, dissection or aortic valve disease. AC is associated with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) in around 60%, both diseases alter aortic wall distensi...
متن کاملComparison of nerve repair with end to end, end to side with window and end to side without window methods in lower extremity of rat
Abstract Background : Although, different studies on end-to-side nerve repair, results are controversial. The importance of this method in case is unavailability of proximal nerve. In this method, donor nerves also remain intact and without injury. In compare to other classic procedures, end-to-side repair is not much time consuming and needs less dissection. Overall, the previous studies i...
