Changes in Elastic Properties of Descending Thoracic Aorta After Ascending Aorta Replacement

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2014
The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of aortic root replacement by a graft on the elastic properties of the descending thoracic aorta using cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and automatic post-processing. Nineteen patients were operated on an aortic root aneurysm and a cardiac MRI allowing aortic compliance measurement was performed before and after surgery. Images were acquired with a 1.5 T MRI with only one additional sequence to a conventional aortic MRI protocol.
