Proximal thoracic aorta dimensions after continuous-flow left ventricular assist device implantation: Longitudinal changes and relation to aortic valve insufficiency

Background In this study we examined the impact of continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) support on proximal thoracic aorta dimensions. Methods Aortic root and ascending aorta diameter were measured from serial echocardiograms before and after CF-LVAD implantation in patients with...
