TL;DR: A significant stenosis present at 30 days after angioplasty was shown by histological examination to be due to organization of mural thrombus, and the pathophysiological response to angiopLasty of the common carotid artery in 38 heparinized normal pigs was investigated by quantification of 111In-labeled platelet deposition and histological and electron microscopic examination.

TL;DR: Takayasu arteritis is more common than previously suspected in North America, is not restricted to any one racial group, and is readily treatable with corticosteroids and surgical vascular reconstruction.

TL;DR: AVS is an essential diagnostic step in most patients to distinguish between unilateral and bilateral adrenal aldosterone hypersecretion, and on the basis of CT findings alone, 42 patients would have been incorrectly excluded as candidates for adrenalectomy, and 48 patients might have had unnecessary or inappropriate Adrenalectomy.

TL;DR: Hallmarks of findings on aortography and CT scan include the presence of the ulcer and an intramural hematoma and the potentially progressive and serious nature of this condition may remain unappreciated.

TL;DR: A review of the Mayo Clinic experience with 235 patients who had 236 substantiated aortic dissections finds that in a patient who has a catastrophic illness and unexplained symptoms that could be of vascular origin, especially in the presence of chest pain, aorti dissection should always be included in the differential diagnosis.
