Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is the abnormal dilation of a segment of the thoracic aorta, usually the ascending aorta.
Aortic Arch– Once the aneurysm is over 5.5cm, surgery should be considered; the affected aorta is replaced with a multi-limbed graft, allowing for the branching of the great vessels (such procedures have a high risk of cerebral ischaemia from embolisation) Descending Aorta– Intervention is indi...
AIM. A thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a diseased expansion of the thoracic aorta. There is morbidity associated with a dilated aorta, as well as significant mortality. Open thoracic surgery is the fundamental management for proximal lesions, offering definitive treatment with excellent results. ...
Thoracic aortic surgery requiring temporary interruption of cerebral perfusion has been associated with the highest incidence of brain injury in comparison to other cardiac operations. Many reports assessing the incidence of neurologic injury were based on retrospective data collection or clinically diagnosed...

Indication for stent-grafting was an atherosclerotic aneurysm with a diameter of more than 6cm in 56 patients, an acute type B dissection in 23 patients, penetrating ulcer in 6 patients and a traumatic lesion in 4 patients. To allow safe deployment of the stent graft, preliminary subclavian-...
Objective: We describe our strategy and the outcomes of simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) during surgery for thoracic aortic aneurysms in patients with coronary artery disease. Patients and Methods: We enrolled 34 consecutive patients (age: 70.6 ± 10.9 years) who underwent simultaneo...

To assess trends in thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) hospital admissions, interventions, and aneurysm related mortality (ARM) in England, and examine the impact of endovascular repair on mortality for the years 1998 to 2020.Hospital admission and operative approach (thoracic endovascular aortic repair, ...
Aneurysm repair was the most common surgery indication in 57.6% (n = 34) of patients, followed by trauma, including aortic dissections/transections, in 35.6% (n = 21). Most surgeries (64.4%, n = 38) were emergency procedures. TEVAR represented 47.5% (n = 28) of the cases, EVAR 45....
