Large Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Repaired with Endovascular Stent Grafting- A Rare Entity
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
A thoracic aortic aneurysm is a weakened area in the upper area of the aorta. A thoracic aortic aneurysm can also be called as thoracic aneurysm and aortic dissection (TAAD) because it can cause life-threatening bleeding due to tear in the artery wall (dissection). Thoracic aortic aneurysms usually grow very slowly and predominantly remain asymptomatic, making them difficult to detect by regular investigation modalities. Many start small and remain small throughout, but few aneurysms expand over time and rupture causing medical emergencies. Growth of the aneurysms is highly unpredictable. Depending on the size and growth rate of your thoracic aortic aneurysm, treatment may vary from watchful waiting to emergency surgery. Keywords:Aneurysm, Descending Thoracic Aorta, Dissection, Mural Thrombus, Stent-grafting.
