How often are imaging studies for thoracic aortic aneurysm necessary?

Female sex and aortic regurgitation predisposed to more rapid aortic growth. [...]the authors suggest that a lower imaging frequency might be a good alternative approach in patients without connective tissue diseases. [...]Adriaans et al. propose triennial imaging follow-up for ascending aortic aneurysms with diameters between 40 and 49 mm. There are, however, limitations that need to be addressed. In 2019, assessment of aortic diameters and their correlation with prognosis were prioritised among the top 11 research questions by the Netherlands Society of Cardiology [7]. [...]the study by Adriaans et al. is important, as it has a relevant impact on daily clinical practice.
