ScreeningSyndromic thoracic aortic aneurysmNon-syndromic thoracic aortic aneurysmThoracic aortic aneurysms are silent yet deadly clinical entities which may elude detection until an acutely life-threatening aortic dissection or rupture occurs. Approximately 20% of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms or ...
Most thoracic aortic aneurysms are asymptomatic and discovered incidentally through screening or as a consequence of medical workup for other cardiovascular disease (Box 17-1). The most common initial symptoms ofthoracic aortic aneurysmare chest orback paincaused by aneurysmal expansion, rupture, or bo...
Abdominal aortic aneurysm thoracic aortic aneurysm thoracic aortic ectasia prospective study screening What this paper adds Few retrospective studies in the literature address the question of the association between infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm and thoracic aortic aneurysm. To answer this question, th...
If your odds of getting an aneurysm are high, you might want to talk with your doctor about a screening. How Is It Diagnosed? Because abdominal aortic aneurysms often show no symptoms, your doctor might be the first to find it, perhaps after a routine exam. If he thinks you have one,...

First, it will enable the genetic screening of family members, which will allow non-carriers to be excluded from further clinical monitoring. Second, for mutation carriers, the identification of a causal mutation will influence pharmaceutical treatment and decision-making concerning surgical treatment.12...
ANSWER: A thoracic aortic aneurysm occurs when one or more areas along the wall of the aorta—the body's largest blood vessel—becomes weak or damaged. The aorta carries oxygen-filled blood from the heart to the body, including the brain. With time, the pressure of blood flowing through th...
