3D computed tomography (CT) angiogram of the thoracoabdominal aorta of a 68-year-old patient with chest pain. There is a large aneurysm of the ascending thoracic aorta at the exit of the aortic valve (centre). Aneurysms are localised, blood-filled balloon-like bulges in the wall of a blood vessel. They form when the wall is weakened by disease or another cause. | |
