We report a very rare case of hugh aortic arch aneurysm associated with aortic restenosis, which caused severe hypoxia due to ventilation-perfusion mismatch by compression of the left main bronchus and the right pulmonary artery. Aortic arch replacement was performed under circulatory arrest and
BACKGROUND
The pathogenesis of aortic diseases, both aneurysmal and occlusive, is associated with the occurrence of local ischemic/hypoxic conditions, but the genetic factors that differentiate the predisposition to specific types of aortic diseases are largely unknown. In this study, the functional
We report three consecutive cases of patients who had refractory hypoxemia and paradoxical embolism during the course of pulmonary embolism. Transesophageal echocardiography showed an atrial septal aneurysm and a patent foramen ovale in all patients. The latter was detected by an early and massive
OBJECTIVE
To study the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha and related genes in abdominal aorta aneurysm (AAA) and explore the underlying pathogenesis.
METHODS
Twenty-two AAA specimens were collected and 5 normal abdominal aorta tissue were used as control. Northern blot, western
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinical effects of hypoxia preconditioning (HPC) and its effects on serum neuroglobin (NGB) and S-100B level in the patients undergoing intracranial aneurysm surgery.
METHODS
Forty patients scheduled to intracranial aneurysm surgery were randomly.divided into 2 groups: HPC
BACKGROUND
Intraoperative neuromonitoring in aneurysm surgery can be very useful to determine inadequate positions of the vascular clip that cause partial or complete compromise of the cerebral sanguineous flow in the vascular territories irrigated by the arteries related to aneurysm. The direct
Two patients showed hypoxia and brain swelling during craniotomy under the diagnosis of ruptured cerebral aneurysm. It was not possible to continue the operation due to brain swelling. Postoperatively, they were diagnosed as pulmonary embolism by Tc-scintigraphy. Re-operation was carried out after
Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α is a transcription factor that regulates various genes responding to hypoxic conditions. We previously reported that myeloid-specific activation of HIF-1α had protective effects on hypertensive cardiovascular remodelling in mice. However the role of myeloid lineage
We aimed to determine the effect of HIF-1α, the main regulatory subunit of the hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), on the development of the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
AAA was induced in ApoE(-/-) mice by angiotensinⅡ (AngⅡ) infusion. In vivo silencing of HIF-1α was achieved by transfection of
The purpose of this study was to determine the role of smooth muscle cell-derived hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (Hif-1α) in the pathogenesis of aortic aneurysms.
Control mice and smooth muscle cell-specific hypoxia-inducible factor-1α-deficient mice were infused with β-aminopropionitrile for 2 weeks
OBJECTIVE
We sought to determine whether hypoxia is an initiating factor in the matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) up-regulation observed in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and whether hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) or Ets-1 are mediating factors.
METHODS
Human AAA and normal aorta were
BACKGROUND
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, almost always from saccular intracranial aneurysm (sIA), is a devastating form of stroke that affects the working-age population. Cellular and molecular mechanisms predisposing to the rupture of the sIA wall are largely unknown. This knowledge would
Human ascending aortic aneurysms characteristically exhibit cystic medial degeneration of the aortic wall encompassing elastin degeneration, proteoglycan accumulation and smooth muscle cell loss. Most studies have focused on the aortic media and there is a limited understanding of the importance of
Background: Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a severe threat that is characterized by the increased aortic diameter. The dysfunction of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contributes to the formation of TAA. Previous research indicated
Hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) pathway is associated with many vascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, arterial aneurysms, pulmonary hypertension and chronic venous diseases. Significant HIF-1α expression could be found at the rupture edge at human abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
