Medisan; 25 (3), 2021
Se describe el caso clínico de una paciente de 4 años de edad, quien ingresó en el Servicio de Terapia Intensiva del Hospital Infantil Docente Sur Dr. Antonio María Béguez César de Santiago de Cuba por presentar dolor abdominal intenso, vómitos sanguinolentos, distención abdominal, tumoración pa...

Colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica en un paciente con gran aneurisma de la aorta abdominal
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in a patient with a large abdominal aortic aneurysm

Rev. cuba. med. mil; 50 (1), 2021
Introducción: El aneurisma de la aorta abdominal es una enfermedad que cursa, por lo general, de forma asintomática, asociado a una elevada mortalidad cuando se rompe. Se describen factores de riesgo asociados a la historia natural de esta afección. La realización de procederes terapéuticos endoscó...

A Simple Risk Scoring Systems to evaluate the presence of aneurysm and one-year mortality in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm using CHA2DS2-VASc and ATRIA

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: We aimed to demonstrate the clinical utility of CHA2DS2-VASc and anticoagulation and risk factors in atrial fibrillation risk scores in the assessment of one year mortality in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm. METHODS: We designed a retrospective cohort study using data from S...

Aneurisma de aorta abdominal roto al duodeno: causa infrecuente de hemorragia digestiva masiva

Rev. méd. Chile; 149 (1), 2021
Primary aortoenteric fistula is the spontaneous communication between the lumen of the aorta and a portion of the digestive tract. The most common cause is the erosion of an abdominal aortic aneurysm into the 3rd or 4th portion of the duodenum. It manifests clinically as gastrointestinal bleeding, with o...

Rev. colomb. radiol; 32 (4), 2021
Introducción: Las endofugas son la complicación más frecuente de los tratamientos endovasculares de aneurismas de aorta abdominal y torácica. El objetivo de este estudio es describir la frecuencia de endofugas en pacientes con aneurismas de aorta infrarrenal tratados con técnicas endovasculares. Met...

Primary aortoduodenal fistula: a rare cause of massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage

Autops. Case Rep; 11 (), 2021
Aortoduodenal fistula (ADF) is the most common type of aortoenteric fistula (AEF). This is a rare entity, which produces communication between an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), resulting in massive gastrointestinal bleeding. AEF/ADF is difficult to recognize clinica...

Profiles of immune infiltration in abdominal aortic aneurysm and their associated marker genes: a gene expression-based study

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (11), 2021
Immune-mediated inflammation plays a key role in the pathology of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). We aimed to use a computational approach to profile the immune infiltration patterns and related core genes in AAA samples based on the overexpression of gene signatures. The microarray datasets of AAA and ...

Inhibition of CXCR2 alleviates the development of abdominal aortic aneurysm in Apo E-/- mice

Acta cir. bras; 36 (1), 2021
ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate the relationship between atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and CXC chemokine receptor type 2 (CXCR2). Methods Mouse AAA model was established by embedding angiotensin-II pump (1000 ng/kg/min) in ApoE-/- mice. Mice were received SB225002, a selective CXCR2 a...

Signs of impending rupture in abdominal aortic and iliac artery aneurysms by computed tomography: Outcomes in 41 patients

Clinics; 76 (), 2021
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of signs of impending rupture (SIR) in asymptomatic patients with abdominal aortic and iliac artery aneurysms, and to evaluate whether these signs were associated with rupture in asymptomatic patients. METHODS: This was a retrospective study of pa...

Trends in abdominal aortic aneurysm-related mortality in Brazil, 2000-2016: a multiple-cause-of-death study

Clinics; 76 (), 2021
OBJECTIVES: Remarkable changes in the epidemiology of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) have occurred in many countries during last few decades, which have also affected Brazilian mortality concurrently. This study aimed to investigate mortality trends related to AAA mortality in Brazil from 2000 to 2016. ...
