They defined tortuosity as an S- or C-shaped elongation or undulation. Kinking was described as an acute angulation, its severity ranging from mild (angle ≥60°) to moderate (angle between 30° and 60°) and severe (angle <30°).

Sep 8, 2023 · These findings collectively suggest that age-related alterations in vessel structure contribute to arterial tortuosity, particularly in the thoracic aorta and its branches. Gender has been identified as a potential factor influencing arterial tortuosity.
Nov 13, 2014 · Arterial tortuosity syndrome (ATS) is characterized by widespread elongation and tortuosity of the aorta and mid-sized arteries as well as focal stenosis of segments of the pulmonary arteries and/or aorta combined with findings of a generalized connective tissue disorder.

Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a commonly encountered disease that is defined as aortic dilation with an increase in diameter of at least 50% greater than the expected age- and sex-adjusted size. Thoracic aortic aneurysms are described by their size, location, morphology, and cause.
The general insight is that tortuosity comes with aging in the descending thoracic aorta. With this report we want to define and classify the tortuosity in the diseased descending thoracic aorta. Methods: A total number of two hundred seven patients were divided into three groups.
