The American Journal of Cardiology, 2008
[Extract] We read with interest the recent publication by Ito et al. The investigators note that the risk profiles for patients with thoracic aneurysms and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are distinct. In particular, they note that coronary artery disease, emphysema, and diabetes are more common in patients with AAAs than in those with thoracic ...

Infected aortic aneurysms [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1985 Salmonella organisms have been responsible for half of the reported cases of infected aortic aneurysms, although other bacteria have been incriminated. This is the second reported case in which Campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus apparently infected an inflammatory aortic aneurysm. In this 70-year-old man the organism was isolated and treated prior to

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 1999
Most vascular surgeons believe that saccular aortic aneurysms have a more ominous natural history than the typical fusiform aneurysm, although this is not documented in the literature. Expeditious repair is indicated for symptomatic saccular aneurysms, and intervention is usually advocated even when they are asymptomatic because of the general belief ...

DeckerMed Emergency Medicine, 2018
Aortic diseases are relatively rare but are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Emergency physicians (EPs) should consider aortic disease in all patients with pain in the torso, particularly those with other diverse or seemingly unconnected complaints.

Radiology, 1979
Three children with aneurysms of the thoracic aorta were studied. The clinical presentation, radiographic findings, and etiologic factors are discussed. These lesions are associated with a poor prognosis and only one patient survived. The radiographic appearance of an enlarging mediastinal mass close to the aorta should suggest an aneurysm of the ...

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 1999
The mortality rate after the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm is 80% to 90%; therefore, the main goal of treatment is to prevent rupture. Patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms smaller than 5 cm in diameter should be managed conservatively under close surveillance with either computed tomography or sonography every 3 to 12 months.

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1981
ABSTRACT: Aortic aneurysms may become infected. This unusual complication carries a highly unfavorable prognosis. In any patient with sepsis and a known aneurysm, spread of the sepsis to the aneurysm should be suspected if no other source of infection can be found. A case report is presented, together with a brief review of the literature.

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.
