Proximal aortic aneurysms: correlation of maximum aortic diameter and aortic wall thickness

Abstract: OBJECTIVES The goal of therapy of proximal aortic aneurysms is to prevent an aortic catastrophe, e.g. acute dissection or rupture. The decision to intervene is currently based on maximum aortic diameter complemented by known risk factors like bicuspid aortic valve, positive family history or rapid growth rate. When applying Laplace’s law, wall tension is determined by pressure × radius divided by aortic wall thickness. Because current imaging modalities lack precision, wall thickness is curre… Show more

“…It also seems to be of more interest, being able to predict and, therefore prevent AAD. It is well known that AAD occurs not only after the recommended diameters of aneurysm have been passed [ 4 ]. We also know that during dissection, the aorta increases in diameter itself [ 5 ].…”
