Younger patients may develop aortic aneurysms of the thoracoabdominal aorta ...
Aortic sinus aneurysms may occur in isolation, or may be seen in association with other diseases of the aorta including Marfan syndrome, Loeys-Dietz syndrome, and bicuspid aortic valve. They can be diagnosed using an echocardiogram or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. Treatment includes blood pressure control but surgical repair ...
