Aortic and Iliac Calcifications as Predictors of Aortic Dissection, Aneurysm Rupture, and Peripheral Vascular Disease: A Prospective Cohort Study from the DANCAVAS Trials
Severe aortic and iliac calcification was associated with significantly higher risk of aortic events and MALEs, suggesting that quantifying aortic calcification may provide valuable prognostic information and potentially improve the risk stratification in patients with aortic aneurysm or peripheral artery disease.
