Abstract: Unlike the ascending aorta and aortic arch, there was no association between the descending aorta and APOE*E4. Potential reasons for this include the fact that the progression of atherosclerosis in the aorta is influenced by the flow dynamics and wall shear stress within the segments of the aorta. 4 For example, the higher ejection velocity in the ascending aorta might limit formation of plaques in this region. More importantly, the influence of age on atherosclerosis is very strong, with an incidence rising … Show more

“…The Amplatzer occluder is made of nitinol (approximately 45% nickel) [10], and on rare occasions, it may cause allergic reactions, as evidenced in sporadic case reports. A recent case report discusses a patient with severe progressive generalized exanthema 3 days after implantation of the Amplatzer device [114], while earlier case reports discussed patients presenting with systemic allergic reactions (such as fever and dyspnea) with no apparent rash, although they their patch test results were positive [115][116][117]. In all these cases, the patients' symptoms resolved either with the removal of the device or with the use of corticosteroids.…”

“…3 In patients undergoing percutaneous atrial septal defect and patent foramen ovale closure, nickel allergy can be the cause of systemic reactions such as chest discomfort, palpitation, and migraine headache with or without aura. 4 Local nickel allergy from intracardiac devices and subsequent systemic allergic reactions confirmed by patch tests as an allergy to nitinol have necessitated the removal of these devices. 5 Reports concerning hypersensitivity reactions to various metals used in orthodontics have also been published and nickel was the metal provoking the most severe responses.…”

“…69 It has been postulated that a local allergic reaction to the device may stimulate platelet activity, resulting in coronary thrombosis. 70 Delayed hypersensitivity reaction to the components of metal struts has been implicated as a trigger for IST. 71 However, BMS have not been shown to be a potential cause of hypersensitivity reaction in a cumulative analysis of human autopsy cases.…”
