Preface

Life offers opportunities that should never be wasted, as these events bring a unique experience in carrying out a work in which we learn, teach, and expand our knowledge. This approach is essential to obtain knowledge and apply it to the care of patients with aortic aneurysm.

This work is a study of the aortic aneurysm and its various presentations. Written by eminent specialists in the field, this volume extensively covers clinical, diagnostic, and treatment findings in the aortic aneurysm. It is designed to assist in the challenging diagnosis and management of this potentially life-threatening condition. In the chapters, expert contributors share their experience and knowledge about the various aspects of aortic aneurysm disease.

For the editors, it was a privilege to participate in the edition of this book. We would like to thank the contributors and our publisher, IntechOpen.
