Inflammation in thoracic aortic aneurysms
Herz, 2019Mutations in extracellular matrix and smooth muscle cell contractile proteins predispose to thoracic aortic aneurysms in Marfan syndrome (MFS) and related disorders. These genetic alterations lead to a compromised extracellular matrix-smooth muscle cell contractile unit.

Genetics of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms
Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2012Understanding of the genetics of thoracic aortic aneurysm is increasing rapidly, due to discovery of novel genes, better definition of the phenotypes associated with mutations in a given gene and better understanding of the pathophysiology. Beyond Marfan syndrome, usually related to mutation in FBN1, mutations have been reported in TGFBR1, TGFBR2 ...

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1987
The historical development of knowledge of aneurysms is surveyed, particularly of those of thoracic aorta. There follows detailed considerations of the structure and structural properties of the aorta and its supports ("bobbins"). The degenerations of the aorta is described and discussed in considering the various basic types of aneurysm.

The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 2005
Thoracic aortic aneurysm with dissection is the most common fatal condition involving the aorta. The prevalence of aortic aneurysms appears to be increasing, which may reflect improvements in imaging techniques as well as increased clinical awareness of the condition.

Dissecting Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms
Archives of Surgery, 1972In 16 years, 33 operations were performed on 32 patients out of a total of 55 with dissecting thoracic aneurysms. The overall mortality was 64%. This was much higher (88%) for type 1 cases (tear near the aortic valve and dissection extending beyond the descending aorta) than for type 2 (tear and dissection confined to ascending aorta) or for type 3 ...

Familial thoracic aortic aneurysms
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2014A lot of new data have been obtained in familial thoracic aortic aneurysms, including description of new entities and better understanding of pathophysiology. The aim of this review is to put them in perspective.The new data have been collected, put together, and allowed a new classification scheme to be proposed by the Montalcino Aortic Consortium on ...

Echocardiography, 1996
This article describes the evolving role of echocardiography for the detection and evaluation of thoracic aortic aneurysms. A brief summary of the clinical, anatomical, and pathological features of the etiologic categories of thoracic aneurysms is presented.

Thoracic aortic aneurysms and pregnancy
La Presse Médicale, 2015Half of acute aortic dissection in women under the age of 40 occurs during pregnancy or peripartum period. Marfan syndrome is the most common syndromic presentation of ascending aortic aneurysm, but other syndromes such as vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Loeys-Dietz syndrome and Turner syndrome also have ascending aortic aneurysms and the associated ...

Thoracic aortic aneurysms are most commonly caused by atherosclerotic disease and can be evaluated and followed with MRI. The addition of PET imaging can provide information on aortic inflammation and possibly estimate the risk of acute rupture.

Aneurysms of the ascending aorta are often due to annuloaortic ectasia in the setting of Marfan disease or can be secondary to aortic stenosis, which may be seen in patients with congenital bicuspid valve. Atherosclerotic aneurysms more often involve the aortic arch and descending aorta.
