Abstract
An elevated VTI is consistently present in patients with degenerative aneurysms and has potential as a universally available predictive measurement. However, the increased VTI in the older cohort without connective tissue disease may not carry the same predictive value for acute presentations as has been demonstrated in younger patients with a known genetic basis for their aortopathy.
