Abstract

Aortic aneurysm rupture and aortic dissection are important causes of death. In the last decade, several developments have improved the outlook for patients with aortic diseases, including the introduction of ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in some countries; more detailed ways of imaging the aorta and the development and subsequent sophisticated advancement of technology to repair large aortic aneurysms via endovascular means. An important remaining challenge is the development of an effective range of medications, which limit the progression of aortic aneurysms and dissections.
