Tortuosity of the descending thoracic aorta: Normal values by age.

Tortuosity of the descending thoracic aorta: Normal values by age.

<h4>Background</h4>Aging changes the aorta in length, tortuosity and diameter. This is relevant in thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and in the long term follow up.<h4>Methods and results</h4>Two groups of hundred patients < 65 years and hundred patients ≥ 65 yea...
