An illustration of a heart affected by a thoracic aortic aneurysm. An aortic aneurysm is the widening or ballooning of the aorta due to a weakening of the inner aortic wall. Atherosclerosis, inflammation, blunt injuries, or conditions like Marfan syndrome and Ehler-Danlos syndrome, can affect connective tissues and weaken the aortic walls. | |
