Untreated thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms are associated with an exceedingly high
mortality rate, and surgery carries a high complication rate. Crawford's classification system …

Background Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) are rare but complicated aortic
pathologies that can result in high morbidity and mortality. The whole-aorta hemodynamic …

Blood vessels can be regarded as autonomous organs. The endothelial cells on the vessel
surface serve as mechanosensors or mechanoreceptors for the flow velocity and turbulence …

There is no single correct approach to evaluate aortic aneurysm. Variations in individual
cases, equipment availability, technical expertise, and surgeons' preference frequently …

As the incidence of thoracoabdominal aortic pathology (aneurysm and dissection) rises and
the complexity of endovascular and surgical treatment options increases, imaging follow-up …

Objectives Degenerative thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) patients are known to be at risk of
life-threatening acute aortic events. Guidelines recommend preemptive surgery at diameters …

Usually atherosclerotic in origin, aneurysms of the abdominal aorta (AAA) tend to involve the
infrarenal aorta. Their biphasic exponential growth pattern, initially slow then accelerated …

Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, although rare, continue to be associated with high
morbidity and mortality in the modern era of vascular surgery, and knowledge of this disease …

Thoracic aortic aneurysm is a common cardiovascular disease consisting of marked dilation
of the aorta. Aortic aneurysms carry a high risk of life-threatening complications such as …

Background Maximum diameter measurements are used to assess the rupture risk of
abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs); however, these are not precise enough to predict all …
