Official Title: Study on Genetically Affected Sporadic Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection
Brief Summary: Mortality of thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) remains high because of the huge blood lost from the aorta. Questions about the potentially genetic effects on sporadic TAAD are raised by researchers to explore the possible mechanisms leading to sporadic TAAD and to establish new clinical approaches to prevent TAAD-caused adverse clinical outcomes. This study is intended to collect the gene information in sporadic TAAD patients and to explore the relationship between genetic variation and the incidence of sporadic TAAD for further study.
