text: The 2017 European Society for Vascular and Endovascular Surgery (ESVS) guidelines on descending thoracic aortic disease suggested that endovascular repair should be considered for descending TAAs > 60 mm diameter, as this is the diameter where risk of rupture sharply escalates (classification IIa, level B evidence).15 To evaluate the possible benefit of repair in a population with smaller aneurysms (< 55 mm), a randomized controlled trial would be necessary.
