Aneurysms of the aorta are at times evaluated and treated by physicians from a number of specialties. Indeed, whereas cardiac surgeons operate on the ascending aorta and arch and vascular surgeons manage abdominal aortic aneurysms, at present the responsibility often falls to cardiologists to oversee the medical care of patients with aortic disease of ...

Treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysm [PDF]

Annals of Translational Medicine, 2018
The diameter of thoracic aortic aneurysm (AA) is at least 1.5 times that of a normal thoracic aorta (1). Sixty percent of thoracic AAs occur in the aortic root and/or the ascending aorta, 40% occur in the descending aorta, 10% occur in the aortic arch, and 10% occur in the thoracoabdominal aorta (2).

Thoracic aortic aneurysm

Tzu Chi Medical Journal, 2015
Aortic diseases contribute to the high overall cardiovascular mortality rate. The Global Burden Disease 2010 project demonstrated that the overall global death rate from aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection has increased in the past decade. Guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of aortic diseases emphasize rapid and efficacious diagnostic ...

Challenging endovascular treatment of a thoracic saccular aneurysm in extensive coral reef aorta

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2022
Coral reef aorta (CRA) is characterized by heavily calcified obstructive lesions in the aorta. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is an established, less invasive procedure for aortic diseases; however, aortic occlusive diseases are commonly ...

Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2014
Aortic dissection is the most devastating complication of thoracic aortic disease. In the more than 250 years since thoracic aortic dissection was first described, much has been learned about diseases of the thoracic aorta. In this review, we describe normal thoracic aortic size; risk factors for dissection, including genetic and inflammatory ...

Aortic Aneurysm with and without Dissection and Concomitant Atherosclerosis—Differences in a Retrospective Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Background: Thoracic aortic aneurysm is a latent disease with a high risk of death. Today, as data are accumulating, an estimation of the differences in thoracic aneurysm in men and women of different age groups is required.
