This book offers a rigorous and highly didactic state-of-the-art synthesis of current knowledge on the clinical management of aortic disease, a field that has experienced major diagnostic and therapeutic advances in recent years. It highlights the central role of imaging techniques in diagnosis, surveillance, prognostic assessment and therapeutic decision-making, and includes more than 200 high-quality figures and nearly 100 videos that illustrate, with outstanding clarity, the information obtained via imaging.

Aortic diseases are structured into three main sections: diseases leading to aortic dilatation and aneurysms, acute aortic syndromes and a miscellaneous group that includes atherosclerotic disease, aortitis, congenital conditions and highly relevant topics such as aortopathy in women, physical exercise and quality of life. Particular emphasis is placed on bicuspid aortic valve disease, genetically determined aortic disorders and acute aortic syndromes. Chapters devoted to surgical and endovascular treatment provide a clear and balanced approach, written by surgeons with well-established experience in these techniques. The content reflects the extensive clinical and research experience of the contributing authors, derived from their collaboration within international networks and participation in scientific projects and registries.
