BACKGROUND: There is limited evidence of the relationship between aortic and iliac calcification and aortic events (aortic dissection or aneurysm rupture) and major adverse limb events (MALEs; ...
BACKGROUND: Aortic valve calcification increases leaflet stiffness and contributes to the development of calcific aortic valve disease. The molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying calcification ...
BOSTON, MA—The presence of thoracic aortic calcification (TAC) is independently associated with adverse outcomes, even after accounting for the degree of coronary artery calcification (CAC), which is ...
New research may help physicians decide which patients with carotid artery occlusive disease should have carotid surgery or carotid stenting. The research sheds light on characteristics of the aortic ...
August 25, 2011 — Arterial calcification in major vessel beds outside the brain, as shown with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is associated with vascular brain disease and may be linked to future ...

New insights into the prevalence of aortic valve calcification—and its progression—among carriers of a common genetic mutation may reopen a long-simmering debate about the role of statins in ...
A break at point A or B, with persistence of the right dorsal aortic root (RDAR), would result in a left aortic arch with either a blind pouch (point A) or a pouch giving origin to a retroesophageal ...
