Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Aortic dissection
Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
Thoracic AA: Definition It is a dilatation of the aorta greater than 150 % of its normal diameter for a given segment. For the thoracic aorta, a diameter greater than 4.5 cm would be considered aneurysmal.
Thoracic AA: Investigations Chest x ray Echocardiography Transthoracic Transesophageal CT chest / CTA MRI chest Aortography Lipid profile / HbA1C
Thoracic AA: Investigations Chest x ray Echocardiography Transthoracic Transesophageal CT chest / CTA MRI chest Aortography Lipid profile / HbA1C
Thoracic AA: Investigations Chest x ray Echocardiography Transthoracic Transesophageal CT chest / CTA MRI chest Aortography Lipid profile / HbA1C
Thoracic AA: Management Indications of surgical repair Marfan syndrome with Aortic diameter >4.5 cm Bicuspid aorta with aortic diameter >5 cm Any patient with aortic diameter >5.5 cm Severe aortic regurge Rapid expansion (>0.5 cm/year)
Thoracic AA: Management Indications of surgical repair
