Chest, 1970
Two children with aortic aneurysm are reported. In one, a 12-year-old girl, aortic dissection resulted in rupture, severe anemia, cardiac tamponade and death. Cystic medionecrosis was seen on necropsy. In the second, a three-year-old boy, a tuberculous etiology was considered on the basis of a positive Mantoux test, exudative pericarditis and ...

Angiology, 2015
[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 ...

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.

Pediatric Cardiology, 2011
A 14-year-old boy presented with an unusual bulging chest noted to be increasing slowly over the last few years. He had no other complaints. Cardiac echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed aneurysmal dilation of the ascending aorta with moderate aortic valve insufficiency and moderate pericardial effusion. The boy underwent

The pathobiology of aortic aneurysms
Journal of Surgical Research, 2004Aneurysmal disease of the aorta, defined as a focal dilation exceeding 150% of the normal arterial diameter [1], is a potentially fatal disease occurring with increasing frequency in our aging population. Its prevalence is estimated at 3% in individuals over the age of 50 [2], with a peak incidence in the eighth decade of life [3, 4].

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.

Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1982Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms present the greatest challenge to the vascular surgeon. The inclusion technique, which is based on reattachment of visceral vessel origins to openings made in the replacment aortic graft, was developed by Crawford and his associates.

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.

International Urology and Nephrology, 1982
Aortic aneurysms may mimick typical urologic syndromes. Aneurysmal rupture calls for an immediate angiosurgical intervention. Surgical mortality amounts to approximately 50 per cent. Surgery for aneurysms in a symptomfree state, while rupture is still absent, is of definite benefit to the survival rate.

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.
