Innominate artery aneurysms often present with signs of innominate artery compression syndrome and have a very high risk of rupture. [10] The majority of IA aneurysms are due to atherosclerosis. Other causes include syphilis, tuberculosis, Kawasaki's disease, Takayasu's arteritis, Behçet's disease, connective tissue disease, and angiosarcoma. [10]
High cholesterol. Smoking. Chronic stress. Coronary artery disease develops when the arteries that supply your heart become clogged with a fatty substance called plaque. The build-up of plaque is ...
The innominate artery should be debrided to healthy tissue and closed with a monofilament suture. [5] Next, the damaged segments of the trachea and the artery should be excised followed by reconstruction with a primary end to end anastomosis of the trachea. Innominate artery ligation leaves the carotid and subclavian circulations intact. [4 ...

In the innominate artery, the average reading is 110/70 mmHg, the right subclavian artery averages 120/80 and the abdominal aorta is 110/70 mmHg. [25] The relatively uniform pressure in the arteries indicate that these blood vessels act as a pressure reservoir for fluids that are transported within them.
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to cardiology, the branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the human heart. [1] The field includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease and electrophysiology.
Supravalvular aortic stenosis is associated with genetic damage at the Elastin gene locus on chromosome 7q11.23. [1] Fluorescent in situ hybridisation techniques have revealed that 96% of patients with Williams syndrome, where supravalvular aortic stenosis is characteristic, have a hemizygous deletion of the Elastin gene.

Type B: The aortic arch is interrupted between the left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery. This is the most common form of the condition, and is the classification most often associated with DiGeorge syndrome. [2] [5] Type C: The aortic arch is interrupted between the innominate artery and the left common carotid artery. This ...
