#GrantWahl died from #aortic #aneurysm

These are often undetected until life threatening

Wahl’s brother encouraged everyone with a #tall, lanky body type and especially pectus #excavatum to get checked

Aortic #aneurysms are associated with #Marfan and #EhlersDanlos syndromes #EDS

#cardiotoot #Savr #cardioverse Recent case of #unicuspid #aortic valve. Two rudimentary commisures. Valve thickened. Not a good case for a “first” in unicuspid repair. Aorta not dilated, no aneurysm. Went for standard mechanical prosthesis.

RT @AorticDissectCT: Patients, families and health care professionals come together in the #aorticdissection lunchbox session at #SCTS2022 on Sunday to share their outlook and ambitions for the future of #aortic care.

Come and join in. We’re looking forward to seeing you there 🙌 #Aorta #AortaEd
