Radiology Nurs Times. A defective gene at the locus 10q2324 was identified in a large family with multiple members with thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection as ACTA2, which encodes the the smooth muscle-specific alpha-actin, a component of the contractile complex and the most abundant protein in vascular smooth muscle cells. 53 In some cases, coronary embolism caused by thrombi, calcium or vegetation from the atria or ventricles, or acute aortic dissection may result in a type 2 MI. Usually decrease in tumour size occurs in the course of treatment, however this doesnt necessarily reflect tumour response. One of the most important imaging criteria in the evaluation of appendicitis is the outer diameter of the appendix.
