Aortic aneurysms (AAs) can develop at any level but are mostly found at the abdominal and infrarenal levels and extend to the iliac arteries. AAs are usually asymptomatic and are most often discovered incidentally during various imaging investigations for other conditions. Rupture of an AA is usually dramatic, being one of the causes of sudden cardiac death. Surgical treatment and, more recently, endovascular treatment are the only effective methods of AA repair. In this study, we screened for the diagnosis of AAs in patients with stable exertional angina who had indications for coronary angiography. The study was carried out in the period 2021\u20132023 in the Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases Timi\u015foara, Romania. Of the 2458 patients with exertional angina who required coronary angiography, a number of 1844 (75%) patients had at least one stenotic atheromatous plaque, and of these 312 patients had AAs, of which 173 at the level of the abdominal aorta.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.47162\/rjme.65.2.11","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,7]],"date-time":"2024-08-07T08:57:22Z","timestamp":1723021042000},"page":"251-256","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Aortic aneurysms in patients with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease in the southwestern region of Romania \u2013 clinical and histopathological study"],"prefix":"10.47162","volume":"65","author":[{"name":"Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Victor Babe\u015f University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Timi\u015foara, Romania; ANAPATMOL Research Center, Victor Babe\u015f University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Timi\u015foara, Romania","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Didu\u0163a Alina","family":"Brie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adelina Maria","family":"Jianu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Anatomy and Embryology, Victor Babe\u015f University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Timi\u015foara, Romania","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roxana","family":"Popescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Victor Babe\u015f University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Timi\u015foara, Romania; ANAPATMOL Research Center, Victor Babe\u015f University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Timi\u015foara, Romania","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Teodor","family":"Cerbulescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Victor Babe\u015f University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Timi\u015foara, Romania; ANAPATMOL Research Center, Victor Babe\u015f University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Timi\u015foara, Romania","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sorin","family":"Dema","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Radiotherapy, Emergency City Hospital, Timi\u015foara, Romania","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniel Miron","family":"Brie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Interventional Cardiology, Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases Timi\u015foara, Romania","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Veronica M\u0103d\u0103lina","family":"Borug\u0103","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Toxicology and Drug Industry, Victor Babe\u015f University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Timi\u015foara, Romania","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"26736","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"\"[1] Clift PF, Cervi E.
