Tracking Changes and Risks in Moderate Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Over 5 Years Study of Systemic Factors in Patients Without Connective Tissue Disease

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying thoracic aortic aneurysm, a condition that can be silent but carries a risk of serious complications or death over time. This observational study aims to understand the rate of major complications in patients with small to moderate thoracic aneurysms. It also seeks to identify systemic factors, such as blood pressure and sleep disorders, that might influence the aneurysms progression. The study follows patients with documented aortic root aneurysms larger than 40 mm but excludes those with larger or rapidly progressing aneurysms or certain medical conditions. Participants will be observed over a five-year period to monitor the occurrence of major aortic events. Blood pressure control and sleep disorders will also be assessed during the first two years. Participants will be involved in regular clinical and imaging follow-ups over five years. Researchers will collect data on major cardiovascular and aortic events, blood pressure control through ambulatory measurements, and sleep disorder indicators like the Apnea Hypopnea Index and Oxygen Desaturation Index. This long-term observation helps understand aneurysm evolution and related risks in this patient group.
