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.

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 ...

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 ...

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

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.

Endovascular Management of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms
CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 2011The overall survival of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) has improved significantly in the past few years. Endovascular treatment, proposed as an alternative to surgery, has been considered a therapeutic innovation because of its low degree of invasiveness, which allows the treatment of even high-surgical risk patients with limited ...

Simplified thoracic aortic aneurysm repair
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2004Descending thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic operations still represent a challenge for the cardiovascular surgeon. In recent years, endovascular stent grafting has become a popular alternative to a conventional operation in selected patients, but is not always readily available or is technically contraindicated; also, long-term results are unknown.

Congenital Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
2015Inherited forms of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) can generally be grouped into those with extra-aortic manifestations (syndromic) and those without (nonsyndromic). Syndromic conditions generally include many disorders historically classified as ‘connective tissue disorders' such as the Marfan syndrome and Loeys-Dietz syndrome.

Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms in Brazil
2016Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) are true aneurysms located at the segments of the thoracic aorta [1, 2]. Ascending aortic aneurysms arise anywhere from the aortic valve to the innominate artery and affects 60 % of these patients. Aortic arch aneurysms, seen in 10 % of the patients, include any thoracic aneurysm that involves the brachiocephalic vessels.

Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms
2012The descending thoracic aorta (DTA) usually starts at the lower border of T4 vertebral body, just distal to the take-off of the left subclavian artery and ends at the aortic hiatus of the diaphragm at the level of T12. The DTA lies in the left chest posteriorly and has a relatively straight configuration until it moves anteriorly and medially at the ...
