- Thorax aortic aneurysms
Thorax aortic aneurysms are usually detected incidentally in echocardiography performed during routine heart checks or in computed tomography examinations performed for another disease. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance methods are other examination methods used in diagnosis.
The diameter of the aortic vessel, whose normal diameter is around 3-4cm, exceeds5.5 cm When it occurs, the risk of rupture increases significantly.
Detection of the existing aneurysm and its size with a timely and accurate scan allows minimizing the feared risk of rupture and loss of life.
