Abstract:	Large, non-dissecting thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) up to 13 cm in size are typically found in elderly patients with non-specific respiratory symptoms yet must be detected quickly due to their mortality risk. We present a 31-year-old man with exertional dyspnea secondary to aortic insufficiency from a 9.4 cm TAA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
