    The risk for rupture or dissection of TAAs from different etiologies increases significantly at sizes > 60 mm. The mean rupture rate is only 2% per year for aneurysms <50 mm in diameter, rising slightly to 3% for aneurysms with diameters of 50 to 59 mm, but increasing sharply to 7% per year for aneurysms ≥60 mm in diameter.250 The rate of growth is significantly greater for aneurysms of the descending aorta, at 1.9 mm per year, than those of the ascending aorta, at 0.07 mm per year.249

  • High anomalous origin of both coronary arteries in a patient with aortic valve disease

    2011, Annals of Thoracic Surgery
    Citation Excerpt :

    Our case of the anomalous origin of both coronary arteries, where the RCA originated from above the left sinus and the LCA originated from the sinotubular junction close to the non–left commissure, is extremely rare. In previous reports [1, 6], a bicuspid aortic valve was confirmed as a likely feature associated with anomalous origin of the RCA. However, in our case, the operative findings showed that the aortic valve had a normal tricuspid anatomy.

  • High Anomalous Origin of the Right Coronary Artery Associated With Aortic Stenosis: A Word of Caution

    2010, Annals of Thoracic Surgery
    Citation Excerpt :

    An anomalous RCA arising from the tubular portion of the ascending aorta, as in our case, is exceptionally rare [1–4]. Although this anomaly can be detected by coronary angiography, or echocardiography in some cases [3, 4], detection on a routine basis is generally considered to be difficult. In both of two reported surgical cases [1, 2], the anomaly was diagnosed incidentally during surgery, resulting in injury in one case.
