“…Second, as opposed to the conventional belief, the diameter of a given aneurysm might not serve as the sole determinant of its complication risk (rupture, dissection, and so forth), suggesting the particular roles of certain structural factors including the presence of mural thrombus, degrees of local inflammation, and calcification within the aneurysmatic wall 6 as well as the magnitude of wall thickness. Therefore, relatively small aneurysm sizes, and probably, favorable structural features (diminishing vulnerability of aneurysmal sacs) might have precluded excess iatrogenic or long-term spontaneous complications associated with aneurysms in the present study 3 . Importantly, structural characteristics of aneurysmal sacs (on top of aneurysm diameter) should particularly be evaluated through advanced diagnostic modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, and so forth 6 for the prediction of procedural and long-term complication risks (and hence, to implement the most proper therapeutic strategy) in the setting of TAVI.…”
