Role of aortic distensibility and stiffness in ascending thoracic aneurysm outcomes
Aortic distensibility and stiffness index were not associated with all-cause mortality. Deformation indices varied by valve morphology in unadjusted analyses but were attenuated after adjustment. Further studies are needed to evaluate aortic deformation indices with regard to ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm risk stratification.
