Answered by Master, Doctor Tran Hong Nhat - Cardiovascular Center, Vinmec Central Park International General Hospital.
Hello,
To the question “What are the effects of female thoracic aortic aneurysms? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Thoracic aortic aneurysm is a dangerous disease because there is a high risk of fatal rupture. Patients should have good control of cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, tachycardia), stabilize blood sugar and blood lipids, discontinue iron and avoid vigorous physical activity.
If the thoracic aorta is enlarged more than 55 mm (if no other anomalies are present) or is rapidly increasing in size, intervention (surgery or stent grafting) is recommended.
If you still have questions about female thoracic aortic aneurysms, you can take your mother to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
