  2. Thoracic aortic aneurysm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_aortic_aneurysm

    Thoracic aneurysms are less common than an abdominal aortic aneurysm. [2] However, a syphilitic aneurysm is more likely to be a thoracic aortic aneurysm than an abdominal aortic aneurysm. This condition is commonly treated via a specialized multidisciplinary approach with both vascular surgeons and cardiac surgeons .

  3. Aneurysm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneurysm

    As an aneurysm increases in size, the risk of rupture, which leads to uncontrolled bleeding, increases. [2] Although they may occur in any blood vessel, particularly lethal examples include aneurysms of the circle of Willis in the brain, aortic aneurysms affecting the thoracic aorta, and abdominal aortic aneurysms.

    Aortic aneurysm; Figure A shows a normal aorta. Figure B shows a thoracic aortic aneurysm (which is located behind the heart). Figure C shows an abdominal aortic aneurysm located below the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys.

    Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection is a very rare vascular genetic disorder, it's characterized by recurrent thoracic aortic aneurysms and aortic dissections within a family, these mentioned complications affect one or more aortic segments without any other disease being associated with them.

    Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm is an autosomal dominant [1] disorder of large arteries. There is an association between familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and Marfan syndrome as well as other hereditary connective tissue disorders.

  7. Aortic unfolding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_unfolding

    Aortic unfolding is an abnormality visible on a chest X-ray, that shows widening of the mediastinum which may mimic the appearance of a thoracic aortic aneurysm. [1]With aging, the ascending portion of the thoracic aorta increases in length by approximately 12% per decade, whereas the diameter increases by just 3% per decade.

  8. Open aortic surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_aortic_surgery

    It is used to treat infrarenal aneurysms, as well as juxta- and pararenal aneurysm, thoracic and thoracoabdominal aneurysms, and also non-aneurysmal aortic pathology. Disease of the aorta proximal to the left subclavian artery in the chest lies within the specialty of cardiac surgery, and is treated via procedures such as the valve-sparing ...

  9. Endovascular aneurysm repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endovascular_aneurysm_repair

    Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a type of minimally-invasive endovascular surgery used to treat pathology of the aorta, most commonly an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). When used to treat thoracic aortic disease, the procedure is then specifically termed TEVAR for "thoracic endovascular aortic/aneurysm repair."
