The criteria applied are those of ascending or descending aneurysms depending on whether the arch aneurysm is more closely related to the ascending or the descending aorta. As per the 2010 ACCF/AHA/AATS/ACR/ASA/SCA/SCAI/SIR/STS/SVM Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Patients with ...
Does not fit criteria for surgery: medical management Urgent/emergent surgery Risk factor modification Slow the progression of theaneurysmAneurysmAn aneurysm is a bulging, weakened area of a blood vessel that causes an abnormal widening of its diameter > 1.5 times the size of the native vessel. ...
State-of-the-art of hybrid procedures for the aortic arch: A meta-analysis 2010, Annals of Thoracic Surgery Citation Excerpt : There were 60.8% of patients who were operated on electively (Table 1). Based mainly on sample size criteria (ie, studies with equal or more than 11 patients),...

Table 1.Baseline and procedural characteristics for men and women undergoing ascending aortic aneurysm surgery. In the procedural characteristics, the most frequently performed surgery was AAA replacement with concomitant aortic valve replacement (AVR) in more than half of the patients, using biological ...
Abdominal aortic diameter ≥ 3 cm constitutes an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). AAAs typically enlarge at a rate of 10%/year, but some enlarge exponentially; about 20% remain the same size indefinitely. Risk of rupture is proportional to the size of the aneurysm. ...

Contrast-enhanced CMR angiography (CE-CMRA) is being increasingly used for diagnosing aortic arch anomalies, planning interventions and follow-up assessment. We sought to establish normal values for the diameters of the thoracic aorta and reference curves related to body growth in children using CE-...
Whilst cut off criteria will vary, aguide to thoracic aneurysm surgical interventionscan be followed: Ascending Aorta– Treated when the diameter >5.5cm, the affected region of the aorta is excised and replaced with a dacron graft; if the aortic root is involved, a Bentall procedure is often...
3.2.3.1 Aortic Arch Recently an elongated transverse arch has been added to the Turner syndrome cardiac phenotype. It is defined by two criteria: (1) an origin of the left subclavian artery and (2) an inward indentation of the lesser curvature or kinking at the aortic isthmus [16]. It ha...
