  • Tendon rupture is known to occur with fluoroquinolone treatment. (medsafe.govt.nz)
  • Sudden ruptures may occur at these enlargement points, which can often be seen in hypertension patients over 60 years of age. (gisante.com)
Balloon4
  • An aortic occlusion balloon can be placed to stabilize the patient and prevent further blood loss prior to the induction of anesthesia. (wikipedia.org)
  • Weakness in the wall of the aorta can make it bulge out like a balloon. (sentara.com)
  • An abnormal balloon- or sac-like dilatation in the wall of the THORACIC AORTA. (lookformedical.com)
  • There are two categories of factors that cause the aorta to become weakened and increase in diameter: Think of blood pressure (BP) as the internal inflating pressure on this aortic "balloon. (rsv-nellingen.de)
Risk22
  • Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth is correlated with rupture risk, but predicting either AAA growth or rupture remains challenging. (springer.com)
  • An abdominal aortic aneurysm is most often seen in males over age 60 who have one or more risk factors. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Aim: Our aim is to perform precise computational analysis for the assessment of rupture risk for AAA patients. (edu.qa)
  • Methods: In this IRCC funded project, we will develop a patient-specific computational modeling methodology to assess wall stresses acting on the diseased AAA, for reliable rupture risk assessment of the conditions. (edu.qa)
  • Avoid using fluoroquinolones in people at risk of aortic aneurysm and dissection. (medsafe.govt.nz)
  • Fluoroquinolones, including ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin and moxifloxacin, are associated with an increased risk of aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection. (medsafe.govt.nz)
  • Regulators overseas have issued warnings about the risk of aortic aneurysm and dissection associated with fluoroquinolones. (medsafe.govt.nz)
  • Fluoroquinolone use and risk of aortic aneurysm and dissection: nationwide cohort study. (medsafe.govt.nz)
  • 2015. Risk of aortic dissection and aortic aneurysm in patients taking oral fluoroquinolone. (medsafe.govt.nz)
  • 2018. Oral fluoroquinolone and the risk of aortic dissection. (medsafe.govt.nz)
  • Men who smoke or used to smoke are at a higher risk of having an aortic aneurysm. (familydoctor.org)
  • Others at risk for an aortic aneurysm include people who are white, have a family history of a thickening of artery walls, have high blood pressure, have had an aneurysm in another artery, or are severely obese. (familydoctor.org)
  • Because of the seriousness of the condition, it's a good idea to be screened for aortic aneurysm if you have risk factors, Dr. Rathore says. (sentara.com)
  • A small aortic aneurysm has a low risk of rupture," he explains. (sentara.com)
  • They can offer medical management to reduce the risk of rupture and monitor a small aneurysm over time. (sentara.com)
  • Doctors face difficult decisions when deciding whether the risk of aneurysm rupture justifies surgery because patients are often elderly and have other health issues. (nanowerk.com)
  • The risk of developing aortic aneurysm increases with age. (gisante.com)
  • They published the findings of their original investigation in JAMA Internal Medicine, after determining that these drugs were associated with an increased risk of an aortic aneurysm and dissection. (ifspb.com)
  • Techniques to minimise the risk of annular rupture and therapeutic strategies to improve outcomes in patients that experience this complication will be examined. (icrjournal.com)
  • In addition, after 50 years dramatically increases the risk of development of vascular pathology, including the protrusion of the walls of the aorta. (vsebolezni.com)
  • There is a traditional risk-reduction surgery that can prevent an aortic dissection from becoming a bigger problem that will be life-threatening. (uchicagomedicine.org)
  • The risk for abdominal aortic aneurysm increases with age," said Dr. Faries. (rsv-nellingen.de)
Occurs4
  • It occurs due to weakness in the wall of the artery. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Aortic dissection occurs in about 2 out of every 10,000 people. (limamemorial.org)
  • However, in case of rupture of the aneurysm, sudden and very severe pain usually occurs and the person loses consciousness in a short time and goes into shock. (gisante.com)
  • The phenomenon occurs suddenly and anticipate its occurrence is almost impossible, although destructive processes in the vessel starts a bit earlier if aortic pathology is not caused by trauma. (vsebolezni.com)
Infection1
  • Considering that the initial TEE was not confirmatory for IE nor for aortic root abscess, what would have been the best approach to rule out an infection of the aortic root/annulus? (acc.org)
Spontaneously2
Incidence1
  • Advances in pre-procedural screening and patient selection have reduced the incidence of annular rupture. (icrjournal.com)
