2. 1. Geometric Modeling of Thoracic Aortic Surface Morphology - Implications for Pathophysiology and Clinical Interventions

   Author : Johan Bondesson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; surface curvature; chirality; cardiac pulsatility; aneurysm; helical morphology; stereolithographic 3D surfaces; TEVAR; geometric modeling; endograft; Thoracic aorta; type B aortic dissection; bird-beaking;

   Abstract : Vascular disease risk factors such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and old age are all results of modern-day lifestyle, and these diseases are getting more and more common. One treatment option for vascular diseases such as aneurysms and dissections is endovascular aortic repair introduced in the early 1990s. READ MORE

4. 2. Modeling of Intraluminal Surfaces of Thoracic Aortas

   Author : Johan Bondesson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aneurysm; TEVAR; bird-beaking; cardiac pulsatility; geometric modeling; surface curvature; endograft; stereolithographic surface; dissection; Thoracic aorta;

   Abstract : Vascular diseases are getting more and more common as a result of modern-day lifestyle and the fact that the population is getting older. One of the newest treatments for vascular diseases such as aneurysms and dissections is endovascular repair with endografting. READ MORE

5. 3. Endovascular Treatment of Complex Aortic Pathologies – The Importance of Adequate Patient Selection and Thorough Evaluation of Novel Techniques

   Author : Carlota Fernandez Prendes; Kevin Mani; Srinivasa Rao Vallabhaneni; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endovascular; Aortic; Aneurysm; Dissection; Minimally Invasive; Endograft;

   Abstract : Aortic pathologies include a broad spectrum of diseases, whose inci-dence, prevalence and mortality typically increases with age. Traditional-ly, open surgery was the only viable treatment solution. READ MORE

6. 4. Surgical ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation in different patient populations : A study of clinical outcomes including rhythm, quality of life, atrial function and safety

   Author : Louise Bagge; Carina Blomström-Lundqvist; Mårten Rosenqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; surgical ablation; quality of life; vagal denervation; ganglionated plexi; left atrial function; epicardial; minimally invasive; left atrial ablation; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

   Abstract : Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have markedly reduced quality of life (QoL) and catheter ablation has become a useful tool in the rhythm control therapy. However, because of the poor outcome for patients with persistent AF, new surgical ablation strategies for rhythm control are emerging. READ MORE

7. 5. A minimally invasive axial blood flow pump : an experimental and clinical study

   Author : Urban Lönn; Howard Frazier; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Axial blood flow pump; Hemopump; LVAD; Beating heart CABG; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : The first aim of this thesis was to evaluate a new minimally invasive axial blood flow pump for treatment of patients needing circulatory support after open heart surgery. This system, the Hemopump temporary cardiac assist device, is a very small catheter mounted intracorporeal pump, which is introduced transvalvularly into the left ventricle. READ MORE
