Transesophageal Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Thoracic Aorta
Introduction Current standard techniques for imaging the thoracic aorta include CT, standard body-coil MRI, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), and contrast aortography. Each of these techniques suffers some limitation in its ability to allow detailed mapping of the aortic wall and its anatomic and functional lesions. Body-coil MRI and CT lack adequate resolution of the aortic wall for prec...
متن کاملMechanical evaluation of decellularized porcine thoracic aorta.
BACKGROUND Decellularized tissues are expected to have major cellular immunogenic components removed and in the meantime maintain similar mechanical strength and extracellular matrix (ECM) structure. However, the decellularization processes likely cause alterations of the ECM structure and thus influence the mechanical properties. In the present study, the effects of different decellularization...
متن کاملRetrograde flow in the thoracic aorta in patients with systemic emboli: a transesophageal echocardiographic evaluation of mobile plaque motion.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Blood flow in the aorta is complex and incompletely characterized. Mobile aortic plaques (MAPs), moving freely with the pulsatile aortic flow, in fact represent natural tracers that reflect the flow pattern itself. Our aim was to use MAP motion on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in order to characterize flow patterns in the atheromatous thoracic aorta of patients with sy...
متن کاملIn vivo magnetic resonance evaluation of atherosclerotic plaques in the human thoracic aorta: a comparison with transesophageal echocardiography.
BACKGROUND The structure and composition of aortic atherosclerotic plaques are associated with the risk of future cardiovascular events. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging may allow accurate visualization and characterization of aortic plaques. METHODS AND RESULTS We developed a noninvasive MR method, free of motion and blood flow artifacts, for submillimeter imaging of the thoracic aortic wall....
متن کاملHemoptysis as a Rare Presentation of Thoracic Aorta Aneurysm
Hemoptysis is the rarest presentation of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA).This critical condition is one of the life-threatening medical emergencies. Even with prompt approaches, TAA can have highly terrible outcomes. Although TAA is an almost asymptomatic condition that is accidentally discovered, imaging with contrast is the most useful modality to diagnosis it.
