摘要
Diagnosis and medical care of most aortic pathologies is frequently the responsibility of cardiologists. With the emergence of endovascular interventions, it is, therefore, increasingly important for cardiologists to gain confidence in managing at least the most-frequent presentations of aortic disease. Here, Hüseyin Ince and Christoph Nienaber review the etiology, pathophysiology and clinical management of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm, in the context of the most recent literature.
