MRI detects increased aortic stiffening and myocardial dysfunction after TEVAR of blunt injury in young patients

Conclusions: Young patients with TEVAR after BTAI are at an increased risk of developing vascular and myocardial dysfunction due to increased aortic stiffness. CMR follow-up allows for a comprehensive and radiation-free evaluation of vascular stiffness and associated myocardial changes, especially at the early and subclinical stages.PMID:37461314 | DOI:10.1024/0301-1526/a001084
