A. Imaging has a key role in active surveillance. An aortic aneurysm is an enlargement (dilatation) of the aorta to greater than 1.5 times normal size. We mean any disorder that affects the proper functioning of the heart or the circulatory system (that is, arteries, veins, capillaries, and the lymphatic drainage).

When enlarged above normal but not reaching aneurysmal definition, the terms dilatation/ectasia can be used 9,12. These are usually due to atherosclerosis, and if >5.5cm in size they are at high risk of spontaneously rupturing with massive internal haemorrhage. The caliber of the abdominal aorta does not exceed 3 cm of diameter and it gets thinner progressively at the time it wanders distally. This can lead to renal venous hypertension, resulting in rupture of thin-walled veins into the collecting system with resultant hematuria. Journal of Vascular Surgery. An aneurysm is usually defined as an outer aortic diameter over 3 cm (normal diameter of the aorta is around 2 cm), or more than 50% of normal diameter.

The sinotubular junction is the point in the ascending aorta where the aortic sinuses end and the aorta becomes a tubular structure. 1. Since the normal diameter of the ascending aorta amounts to about 3.5 cm, and 2.5 cm for the abdominal aorta, the diagnostic criteria for an aneurysm include a diameter of >5cm for the ascending aorta, and >4cm for the abdominal aorta.
