Ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms may be fatal upon rupture or dissection and remain a
leading cause of death in the developed world. Understanding the pathophysiology of the …

An ascending aortic aneurysm is a common and very much unwelcome diagnosis that has
never been associated with anything positive. We believe, however, that there actually is a …

Study objectives We noted clinically that patients with aortic root aneurysms and dissections
seemed to have little systemic atherosclerosis. It is our objective to determine whether there …

The majority of ascending aortic aneurysms cannot be related to any specific etiology and
should be qualified as idiopathic. The pathobiology of ascending aortic aneurysms remains …
