Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

Vascular disease affecting one or more segments (root, ascending, arch or descending aorta). Depending on size, location, progression rate of dilatation/dissection, patients may be asymptomatic or present dyspnea, cough, jaw, neck, chest/back pain, head, neck/upper limb edema, difficulty swallowing, voice hoarseness, pale skin, faint pulse and/or numbness/tingling in limbs. Increased risk of presenting life threatening aortic rupture
