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 ...

Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms [PDF]
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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 aneurysm rupture into the esophagus
Forensic Science, Medicine, and Pathology, 2011Patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm usually are asymptomatic until the aneurysm expands or until profound bleeding starts. Aorto-esophageal fistula is a relatively rare complication of thoracic aortic aneurysm and rupture into the esophagus usually causes acute massive gastrointestinal bleeding and hematemesis with high mortality rate. Patients with

Abdominal aortic aneurysms and thoracic aortic atheromas
Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2001Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is associated with atherosclerosis elsewhere. Thoracic aortic atheromas (ATHs) seen on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) are an important cause of stroke and peripheral embolization. The purposes of this study were to determine whether an association exists between AAA and ATHs and to assess the importance of ...

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.
