ascending aorta

These individuals are prone to dissection in the ascending aorta.

This was the first case of successful ascending aorta repair described in the world medical literature.

This is because the native valve and ascending aorta are not manipulated in any way.

The coronary arteries branch off the ascending aorta to supply the heart with blood.

With the machine's assistance, he secured the connection to the ascending aorta in less than a minute.

Divided into 2 groups; A and B depending on whether the ascending aorta is involved.

The bullet had ripped into the ascending aorta.

This wave is created by the heart during the systole and originates in the ascending aorta.

This is because aortic insufficiency causes increased blood flow in the ascending aorta.

This can cause dilatation and weakening of the walls of the ascending aorta.

The aortic valve and ascending aorta can be replaced in separate steps, without root replacement.

Type II - Originates in and is confined to the ascending aorta.

Type 2 refers to dissection of the ascending aorta, closer to and including the aortic arch.

It is called the ascending aorta.

For patients with aneurysms of the ascending aorta or aortic arch:

When it leaves the heart, the aorta first moves up through the chest toward the head (the ascending aorta).

Infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome also have an abnormally narrow ascending aorta.

Type 1 encompasses dissection in the distal ascending aorta closest to the heart, not including the aortic arch.

The aorta is divided into four sections: - The ascending aorta rises up from the heart and is about 2 inches long.

A - Involves the ascending aorta and/or aortic arch, and possibly the descending aorta.

The truncus arteriosus gives rise to the ascending aorta and the pulmonary trunk.

Type I - Originates in ascending aorta, propagates at least to the aortic arch and often beyond it distally.

Some patients with dissection of the ascending aorta have elevated troponins, and increased hemodynamic stress has been suggested as a mechanism.

The transition from ascending aorta to aortic arch is at the pericardial reflection on the aorta.
