  • Title: High-risk repair of ascending aortic aneurysm due to giant cell aortitis.
    Author: Atluri P, Woo YJ.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2007 Jun; 15(3):252-4. PubMed ID: 17541000.
    Abstract:
    Giant cell arteritis increases the risk of developing a thoracic aortic aneurysm. Thoracic aortic aneurysm repair in octogenarians carries a profound increase in postoperative morbidity and mortality. We report the successful repair of an ascending aortic aneurysm in an 83-year-old woman with a history of treatment for temporal arteritis and pathologic evidence of giant cell aortitis.
