Thoracic aortic aneurysm
Updates to Case Attributes
These findings are consistent with a thoracic aortic aneurymsaneurysm withwith no evidence of complications
Like in this case, one of the challenges of a thoracic aneurysm with thrombrusthrombus is distinguished from a dissection with a thrombosed lumen. Intimal calcifications may be helpful in dissecting since these are displaced by the false lumen.
