From Natural History to Contemporary Management of Aortic Diseases: A State-of-the-Art Review of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) are commonly seen in cardiovascular practice. Acquired and genetic conditions contribute to TAA formation. The natural history of genetically mediated TAA underscores the importance of early detection, regular monitoring, and prompt treatment to prevent complications, including dissection or rupture. The prognosis is poor in the event of acute dissection, with high rates of in-hospital mortality. Healthcare providers need to remain vigilant in their efforts to identify and surveil TAA to reduce the risk of complications. In this manuscript, we review the natural history of TAA, discuss the most common causes leading to the development of TAA, assess the value and limitations of diagnostic modalities, and review the management and long-term surveillance of patients with aortic disease.
