2010 ACCF/AHA Guideline Recommendations: Diagnosis and Management of Patients with Thoracic Aortic Disease (DO NOT EDIT) [1]

Recommendations for Aortic Imaging Techniques to Determine the Presence and Progression of Thoracic Aortic Disease

Class I
"1. For measurements taken by computed tomographic imaging or magnetic resonance imaging, the external diameter should be measured perpendicular to the axis of blood flow. For aortic root measurements, the widest diameter, typically at the mid-sinus level, should be used. (Level of Evidence: C)"

Recommendations for Aortic Imaging in Genetic Syndromes

Class I
"1. Patients with Loeys-Dietz syndrome should have yearly magnetic resonance imaging from the cerebrovascular circulation to the pelvis. (Level of Evidence: B)"

2010 ACCF/AHA Guideline Recommendations: Inflammatory Diseases Associated with Thoracic Aortic Disease (DO NOT EDIT) [1]

Recommendations for Takayasu Arteritis and Giant Cell Arteritis

Class I
"1. The initial evaluation of Takayasu arteritis or giant cell arteritis should include thoracic aorta and branch vessel computed tomographic imaging or magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the possibility of aneurysm or occlusive disease in these vessels. (Level of Evidence: C)"

ACC/AHA Guidelines- ACCF/ACR/AHA/NASCI/SCMR 2010 Expert Consensus Document on Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance[2] (DO NOT EDIT)

Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance of thoracic aortic disease, CMR may be used for defining the location and extent of aortic aneurysms, erosions, ulcers, dissections; evaluating postsurgical processes involving the aorta and surrounding structures, and aortic size blood flow and cardiac cycle–dependent changes in area.
