Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms
The true incidence and mortality rate of TAAs is not known. A population-based study reported an incidence of 5.9 new aneurysms per 100,000 person-years in a Midwestern community over a 30-year period with median ages of 65 years for men and 77 years for women. 51% of aneurysms were in the ascending aorta, 11% in the arch and 38% in the descending thoracic aorta. Prevalence may be at least 3-4 ...
متن کاملEndovascular Treatment of Late Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms after Surgical Repair of Congenital Aortic Coarctation in Childhood
BACKGROUND In some patients, local surgery-related complications are diagnosed many years after surgery for aortic coarctation. The purposes of this study were: (1) to systematically evaluate asymptomatic adults after Dacron patch repair in childhood, (2) to estimate the formation rate of secondary thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) and (3) to assess outcomes after intravascular treatment for TAA...
متن کاملThoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms.
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 all types. However, although formally train...
متن کامل14-3-3 in Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms
Objective. Large vessel vasculitides (LVV) are a group of autoimmune diseases characterized by injury to and anatomic modifications of large vessels, including the aorta and its branch vessels. Disease etiology is unknown. This study was undertaken to identify antigen targets within affected vessel walls in aortic root, ascending aorta, and aortic arch surgical specimens from patients with LVV,...
متن کاملEndovascular repair of thoracic aortic aneurysms.
A thoracic aortic aneurysm is a potentially life-threatening condition that involves a structural weakness of the aortic wall, which can lead to aneurysm, rupture, or dissection. Optimal treatment strategies for lesions of the thoracic aorta are still controversial. Open surgery is complex and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Endovascular stenting has emerged as an altern...
