Symptoms of an ascending thoracic aneurysm may include:
The diameter of the thoracic aorta is a biomarker for heart attacks and other adverse cardiovascular events in women and men, according to a new study published in the journal Radiology. The aorta is a large artery that carries oxygenated blood to the heart and other parts of the body.

2 Thoracic aortic aneurysm, without rupture.
A thoracic aortic aneurysm is a weakened area in the upper part of the body's main blood vessel (aorta). Aneurysms can develop anywhere in the aorta. A thoracic aortic aneurysm is a weakened area in the body's main artery (aorta) in the chest. When the aortic wall is weak, the artery may widen.
The entire aorta divides into two parts: the thoracic aorta and the abdominal aorta. The ascending aorta, along with the aortic arch and the descending aorta, makes up the thoracic aorta.

Thoracic aortic aneurysms are serious health risks because they can burst or rupture. A ruptured aneurysm can cause severe internal bleeding, which can rapidly lead to shock or death. If an aneurysm is large and close to the heart, it may affect the heart valves and lead to a condition called congestive heart failure.
chest cavityThe thoracic aorta runs from the aortic arch to the diaphragm, which is the point of separation between the chest cavity and the abdominal cavity. It provides blood to the muscles of the chest wall and the spinal cord.
Types of Vascular Disease This type of aneurysm is called an abdominal aortic aneurysm. If an aneurysm occurs in the upper chest cavity, it's called a thoracic aneurysm.
Typically, there are three branches arising from the aortic arch: the brachiocephalic trunk or artery (also referred to as the innominate artery), the left common carotid artery, and the left subclavian artery.
The thoracic aorta is the section of the aorta that travels through the thoracic cavity to carry blood to the head, neck, thorax and arms.
Causes. The most common cause of a thoracic aortic aneurysm is hardening of the arteries. This condition is more common in people with high cholesterol, long-term high blood pressure, or who smoke.
What are the symptoms of a thoracic aortic aneurysm?Pain in the jaw, neck, or upper back.Pain in the chest or back.Wheezing, coughing, or shortness of breath as a result of pressure on the trachea (windpipe)Hoarseness as a result of pressure on the vocal cords.Trouble swallowing due to pressure on the esophagus.

An ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm is bulging and weakness in the wall of the ascending thoracic aorta, which extends up from the top of the heart's left ventricle. The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body, located in the chest, which delivers blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
