Association of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Size With Long-term Patient Outcomes: The KP-TAA Study – JAMA Cardiology (free for a limited period)

Commentary on Twitter

Risk of dissection is low for non-syndromic pts with ascending aortic aneurysm. Risk higher w larger size, but with a 6.0cm inflection point, early surgery for Pts <5.5 cm should be selective, as the risks from aortic surgery may outweigh the benefits. https://t.co/Mgf1TtHkzr
