For aortic aneurysm, an individual rate of expansion and the risk of rupture may be assessed from co-morbidities, hypertensive state, or connective tissue disease, and may be quantified regardless of anatomic location for timely selection and treatment. Acute aortic syndrome, a new term comprising acute dissection, intramural haematoma, and penetrating aortic ulcers, may share common ground by the observation of microapoplexy of the aortic wall, eventually leading to higher wall stress, facilitating progressive dilatation, intramural haemorrhage, dissection, and rupture; chronic hypertension and connective tissue disorders are likely to promote this mechanism as well....
