Height and body surface area versus wall stress for stratification of mid-term outcomes in ascending aortic aneurysm

Height and body surface area versus wall stress for stratification of mid-term outcomes in ascending aortic aneurysm

Objectives: Current diameter-based guidelines for ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (aTAA) do not consistently predict risk of dissection/rupture. ATAA wall stresses may enhance risk stratification independent of diameter. The relation of wall stresses and diameter indexed to height and body surfa...
