Now that's a left ventricle pushing blood up through the aortic valve you can see two of the leaflets of the aortic valve working there up into the ascending aorta.

So I set out to change the entire treatment for aortic dilation.

It has a funny trilobal shape at the bottom, which contains the aortic valve.

And still, there are people in the U.K. saying, Yeah, that external aortic root, yeah, it'll never work, you know.

A doctor from Brazil said he had never seen anyone survive a carotid artery rupture.

At which the heavens almost rupture, and the earth splits, and the mountains fall and crumble.

At which the heavens almost rupture, and the earth splits, and the mountains fall and crumble.

The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation

The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation

A damaged missile that has landed and not functioned may have suffered a rupture of the outer casing.

(a) War is the polar opposite of peace and involves a complete rupture of relations, and a return to anarchy.

If you compare our new treatment to the existing alternative, the so called composite aortic root graft, there are one of two startling comparisons, which I'm sure will be clear to all of you.

Some in Europe, especially in Germany, seem nonchalant about a Greek exit from the eurozone. The market has, they claim, already priced in such a rupture.

Colonialism and the slave trade constituted a historical rupture for Africa. Beyond the human toll including 10 15 million direct victims absolute subjugation begot a unique loss of confidence.

A radioactive leak, the rupture of an undersea oil well and, above all, CO2 emissions do not threaten just one country. On the other hand, energy s benefits adhere to specific agents, be they consumers, producers, or sellers.

From India s perspective, Iran is an important neighbor with which it can ill afford to rupture its relationship. Indeed, India already seems locked geographically in an arc of failing or dysfunctional states, confronting it with external threats from virtually all directions.

But the cleavage between the two lefts in Latin America is steadily deepening. This is inevitable, because that rupture is being fueled by the simple acknowledgement that responsible governments must place national interests ahead of nostalgia, grandstanding rhetoric, and strident ideology.

The French Socialist Party never had its aggiornamento or Bad Godesberg (where the German SPD in 1959 renounced its last vestiges of Marxism). Instead, the party long defended the theory of a revolutionary rupture with capitalism, never clearly acknowledging its reformist nature.

As far as Europe is concerned, she seems as agnostic as Sarkozy, who, like her, incarnates a new generation of post European leaders. In terms of values, Royal, too, seems to represent a rupture with May 1968, with her emphasis on discipline and family.

Indeed, the proposal amounted to a rupture with the near universal agreement that small depositors should be considered sacrosanct. After all, televised news footage of panicked depositors in long lines outside banks and at ATMs can cause immeasurable financial damage far beyond a country s borders.

The Islamist party, Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS), took power in the states of Kelantan and Trengganu and strongly threatened UMNO in other northern states. The personal conflict between Mahathir and Anwar thus led to an apparent rupture between Malaysia s Islamist political forces and the modernizers of UMNO.

The second storm, rolling in from the EU s east, is the costly military conflict in Ukraine s Donbas region. The crisis in eastern Ukraine has been contained only partly by the Minsk II ceasefire agreement, and reflects the deepest rupture in the West s relationship with Russia since the Soviet Union s collapse.

Positing the problem. At first sight, the dual notion that war is a complete rupture of international relations and that treaties represent the most finished form of such relations leads to the provisional conclusion that there is an incompatibility between a state of war and the very existence of international treaties.

Fortunately, we have recent precedents for changes that fundamentally alter the economic and political landscape i.e., of revolutionary change undertaken peacefully and with enthusiastic popular support. The collapse of communism in Central and Eastern Europe 20 years ago, and the establishment of new democratic polities with market economies, was precisely such a decisive and positive rupture with the past.

Just to its northwest, in Banda Aceh, 160,000 lives were lost in the 2004 tsunami. Now, geologists say, the fault that triggered that tsunami is most likely to rupture farther south, putting low lying coastal towns like Padang, with a population of 900,000, at high risk of a major earthquake and tsunami within the next 30 years.

Park, who lost her first bid for the GNP s nomination to Lee in 2007, needs to ensure that no rupture with her erstwhile rival knocks her off the path to victory in 2012. An astute politician, Park did not hesitate to campaign wholeheartedly for Lee the last time around a move that, as part of long term political strategy, made perfect sense.

Moreover, given the impact on regional geopolitics of the recent interim nuclear deal between Iran and the West, Saudi Arabia s alienation of its neighbors is all the more hazardous. Making matters worse, it is clear that disagreements within the GCC can no longer be resolved behind closed doors, and that member states are unable to air them publicly without risking a diplomatic rupture.

While Karzai has been fickle, to say the least, about cooperation with the Americans (indeed, he has since backed away from participation in the Doha talks), the rupture of his political alliance with non Pashtun leaders has also fueled ethnic polarization. Some non Pashtun power brokers continue to support Karzai, but many others are now leading the opposition National Front.

A border dispute between China and India led to a brief military conflict in 1962 and the occupation by Chinese forces of areas in the Himalayas claimed by both countries. Dietrich Schindler reported to the Institut de droit international with regard to this conflict that since diplomatic relations between the two countries were not broken off there was probably no rupture of treaty relations either.

Though the sea wind blew violently, the helmsman of French ABM Team Pierre Yves Durand told his warm memories with Qingdao at the pre game meeting that he was accidentally injured in the Extreme Sailing Series 5 years ago, resulting in the muscular rupture, and fortunately, the local race medical team helped him deal with it so that he could stand here to take part in the race after 5 years.

Indeed, it is no accident that Henry Kissinger s masterpiece, A World Restored, was devoted to the study of the recreation of the world order by the Vienna Congress after the rupture of the French Revolution, followed by the Napoleonic adventures. Is it more difficult to predict, and adjust to, the coming of a fundamental change, than to defend the present order, under the motto of the devil you know is always preferable to the devil you don t know!
