PY - 2024 T2 - Vascular and Endovascular Surgery: Clinical Diagnosis and Management AB - Aortic aneurysm disease overall leads to 10,000 deaths annually, much of which is likely secondary to the failure to identify and diagnose disease in these patients. Aortic aneurysms are the ninth overall cause of death in the United States.1 These are defined as localized, full-thickness arterial dilations measuring ≥50% of the normal diameter. Descending thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) account only for 2% to 5% of these, as the vast majority are abdominal.
