The unique graft is designed for patients with conditions affecting the ascending aorta, the major large blood vessel that leaves the heart and supplies blood to the brain and the rest of the body.

Abstract: Objective: Computational modelling of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (ATAA) typically assumes zerodisplacement at the model's inlet. In this study we incorporated different types of ...

Bicuspid aortic valves are associated with ascending aortic pathology, but their impact on long‐term outcomes, including aortic growth and adverse events, remains unclear. This prospective ...
