CEUS has role in follow-up for endovascular aortic repair
Monday, November 27 | 1:40 p.m.-1:50 p.m. | M6-SSVA02-2 | Room N226The performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in follow-up imaging after endovascular aortic repair will be compared to that of CT in a 12-year study to be presented in this session.In his talk, Johannes Rübenthaler, MD, from the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich will present research showing how while CEUS may not replace CT in this area, it could be a supplementary modality.Effective diagnostic follow-up is needed for planning and implementing therapy for secondary rupture caused by endoleaks after endovascular aortic repair. While CT is...

How Common are Aortic Aneurysms?
Discussion
Aortic root dilatation or thoracic aortic aneurysm occurs in 6:100,000 individuals > 50 years of age. It is due to aging, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and smoking. Tertiary syphilis was a cause in the preantibiotic era.
Pediatric aneurysms are very uncommon but the exact prevalence is different due to the various causes. Aneurysms are due to genetic disorders, congenital anomalies or post-surgical repair. In pediatric patients with sudden cardiac deaths, 5.4% are due to ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysms.
Learning Point
Some causes of pediatric aneurysms include:
Familial thoracic aneurysm and dissect...
