Increased risk for thoracic aneurysms in female and familial abdominal aortic aneurysm patients
Female AAA patients had a two-fold increase in risk for TAA, particularly in the descending aorta. Familial AAA patients had a two-fold increase in aneurysm risk for ascending aortic aneurysms. TAAA patients had a lower survival compared with TAA or AAA patients, specifically among female TAAA patients. TAA and TAAA developed during follow-up. Therefore, follow-up imaging of both the ascending and descending aorta after diagnosis of AAA may improve early detection of multiple aneurysms.
