Effect of inflammation on the biomechanical strength of involved aorta in type A aortic dissection and ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm: An initial research

摘要

Objective:Type A aortic dissection (AD) and ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (AA) are thoracic vascular diseases with similar initial pathology but inequable clinical features and outcomes, where local and systemic inflammation play an important part. We aimed to observe and analyze the differences and correlation between inflammation and pathological changes in the aorta and biomechanical strength between AD and AA.
