Abstract
Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) refers to aneurysmal disease affecting variable extents of the thoracic and abdominal aorta concurrently. TAAA may occur as a primary pathology or secondary to aortic dissection. The extent of aortic involvement in TAAA is defined by the Crawford classification (Fig. 10.1), which is the basis for stratifying prognosis and also determines the surgical approach [1].
