Despite its higher prevalence among men, women with thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) have lower rates of treatment and surgical intervention and often have worse outcomes. A growing number of women with TAAD also desire pregnancy, which can be associated with an increased risk of aortic complications. Understanding sex-specific differences in TAAD has the potential to improve care delivery, reduce disparities in treatment, and optimize outcomes for women with TAAD.
尽管男性中这种疾病更为常见，但患有胸主动脉瘤和夹层（TAAD）的女性接受治疗和手术干预的比例较低，且其结局往往更差。越来越多患有 TAAD 的女性也希望怀孕，这可能会增加主动脉并发症的风险。了解 TAAD 中的性别特异性差异，有可能改善护理服务，减少治疗中的差异，并优化 TAAD 女性的结局。
