Differences in Atherosclerotic Profiles Between Patients With Thoracic and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Differences in atherosclerotic profiles between patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) and patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) have not been studied. We retrospectively studied the clinical records of 343 consecutive patients (132 TAA and 211 AAA) who were admitted to our hospital fo...

Zusammenfassung:Differences in atherosclerotic profiles between patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) and patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) have not been studied. We retrospectively studied the clinical records of 343 consecutive patients (132 TAA and 211 AAA) who were admitted to our hospital for elective repair of aortic aneurysms between July 2001 and December 2004. Clinical variables were compared between patients with TAA and those with AAA by using a univariate analysis, and those achieving statistical significance were subsequently assessed in a multivariate analysis. The incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) (53% vs 23%, p
