Ascending Aortic Length and Risk of Aortic Adverse Events

Little information is available regarding the longitudinal changes of the aneurysmal ascending aorta.This study sought to outline the natural history of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (ATAA) based on ascending aortic length (AAL) and develop novel predictive tools to better aid risk stratification.The ascending aortic diameters and lengths, and long-term aortic adverse events (AAEs) (rupture, dissection, and death) of 522 ATAA patients were...
