Abstract: Aortic valve calcification score (AVC) estimated by cardiac Computed Tomography (CT) can be used in the evaluation of aortic valve stenosis (AS) but few studies have investigated the correlation with total calcium weight in the… read more here.

Abstract: Purpose Anastomotic leakage is a major surgical complication following esophagectomy and gastric pull-up. Specific risk factors such as celiac trunk (TC) stenosis and high calcification score of the aorta have been identified, but no data… read more here.
