What is an ascending aortic aneurysm?

Ascending aortic aneurysm may be related to abnormal arterial wall structure, arteriosclerosis, hypertension and other factors. Specific analysis is as follows:

1. Abnormal arterial wall structure

Marfan syndrome, Ellers-Danhong syndrome and other diseases will lead to weakening of the aortic wall, making it easy to expand and rupture, leading to abnormal arterial wall structure, resulting in ascending aortic aneurysm.

2. Arteriosclerosis

arteriosclerosis is a kind of arterial vascular disease, mainly caused by lipid deposition, inflammation and fibrosis of the vascular wall. If the ascending aorta is affected by arteriosclerosis, the arterial wall may become fragile and lead to the formation of ascending aortic aneurysm.

3. Hypertension for a

long time will exert excessive pressure on the artery, leading to expansion and weakening of the arterial wall, making the ascending aorta prone to aneurysmal expansion and causing ascending aortic aneurysm.
