1. 16. Assessing and minimizing risk of patients with aortic disease

   Författare :Roberta Vaccarino; Vaskulära sjukdomar - kliniska studier; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vascular diseases; Aortic disease; aortic aneurysm; risk assessment;

   Sammanfattning : Prophylactic endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) aims to avoid aneurysm rupture. However, only patients with sufficient long-term survival get benefit from this avoidance. Therefore, accurate patient selection is crucial. LÄS MER

3. 17. Aspects on Imaging and Endovascular Treatment of Aortic Dissection and Aneurysm

   Författare :Mats-Ola Eriksson; Rickard Nyman; Anders Wanhainen; Johnny Steuer; Mårten Falkenberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Aneurysms; aorta; stents; ultrasound; colour Doppler; vascular; interventional; aortic dissection; complicated; TEVAR; EVAR; re-intervention; survival; thrombosis; false lumen; aortic remodelling; Radiology; Radiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Aortic aneurysm and dissections are potentially life threatening conditions. The advent of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has reduced perioperative mortality and morbidity and are now established therapy methods for treatment of aortic disease.

4. 18. Hope and life-struggle : patients' experiences with Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

   Författare :Karin Olsson; Åsa Hörnsten; Ulf Näslund; Jan Mårtensson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aortic stenosis; transcatheter aortic valve implantation; experiences; coping; decision-making; health-related quality of life; symptoms; function; omvårdnadsforskning med medicinsk inriktning; Caring Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis is to explore experiences and self-reported outcomes from Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation, TAVI, among people with severe aortic stenosis. The thesis includes four studies. Study I-II are based on interviews performed the day before TAVI and Qualitative Concept Analysis was used for analysis. LÄS MER

5. 19. Treatment of abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms :  Aspects on epidemiology and surgical outcome

   Författare :Kim Gunnarsson; Kevin Mani; Jonas Eiberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aortic aneurysm. Ruptured aortic aneurysm; Endovascular aneurysm repair; Open aortic repair; Aneurysm; Outcome; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Sammanfattning : Aortic Aneurysm (AA) is a life-threatening condition when ruptured (RAA), requiring immediate repair for survival. Since the 50´s, open repair, replacing the diseased vessel with a prosthetic (synthetic) graft, has been the gold standard. LÄS MER

7. 20. MRI with MR Angiography in Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

   Författare :Lena Engellau; Malmö Diagnostisk radiologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering; tomography; radiology; Clinical physics; Contrast media complications; Cost analysis; MR velocity mapping; Artefacts; MR imaging safety; MR angiography; MR imaging; Endovascular repair; Stent-graft; aortic; Aneurysm;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this study was to evaluate MRI with contrast enhanced MR angiography (MRI/CE MRA) as imaging method before and after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). A 1.5 T scanner was used for all examinations. In this prospective study 26 consecutive patients were included. LÄS MER
