Surgical repair of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a complex procedure that poses many surgical and anesthetic challenges. Early diagnosis and elective treatment of TAA is of great importance. Elective surgeries in specialized institution have the best results. Majority of diagnosis are due to a routine chest X-ray or other radiologic imaging for other medical problems. In the United States over 45,000 people die annually from diseases of the aorta. Diagnosis by size and symptoms, are recently enhanced with additional «non-size criteria» by evaluation of mechanical properties of aorta, symptomatic athero-embolism and biomarkers. It is important to recommend the type of treatment in a timely manner, regarding from conservative, radical surgical resection or placement of endovascular stent.
