DOI: 10.1007/s00330-018-5311-8
Abstract: ObjectivesGiant cell arteritis (GCA) is a large-vessel vasculitis whose diagnosis is confirmed by temporal artery biopsy. However, involvement of large vessels, especially the aorta, can be shown by imaging, which plays an increasing role in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11340-020-00641-1
Abstract: Background Aortic dissection (AD) is a common pathology and challenging clinical problem. A better understanding of the biomechanical effects preceding its initiation is essential for predicting adverse events on a patient-specific basis. Moreover, the predictability… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11748-018-1013-z
Abstract: ObjectiveDefinitive chemoradiotherapy is useful for locally advanced esophageal cancer. However, salvage esophagectomy is required when residual or recurrent tumor is evident after chemoradiotherapy. We performed salvage esophagectomy combined with partial aortic wall resection after thoracic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(18)32008-4
Abstract: Inflammation is involved in the mechanisms of premature atherosclerosis and aortopathy of patients with repaired coarctation of aorta (RCoA). We aimed at exploring the role of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging for evaluating aortic… read more here.
