Clinical Trial: Multidisciplinary Analysis by Morphological and Mechanical Evaluation of the Aortic Wall in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery.

U.S., Feb. 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07422129) titled 'Multidisciplinary Analysis by Morphological and Mechanical Evaluation of the Aortic Wall in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery.' on Feb. 03.

Brief Summary: Surgical indication in patients suffering from Ascending aorta aneurysm is currently based mainly on the maximum diameter of the aortic dilatation and on the yearly growth rate. Several clinical preoperative patients characteristics have been, potentially, correlated to impaired mechanical characteristics of aortic wall, and therefore to an increased risk of rupture and or dissection. On other hands, such suppositions have been never confirmed, as a full characterization of the ...
