    Aortic aneurysm (AA) and aortic dissection (AD) exhibit significant mortality trends and disparities across sex, race, and geographic regions in the U.S.

  • 2

    The incidence of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) has increased over the past four decades, while abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) mortality has declined.

  • 3

    Management strategies for AA and AD have evolved, including surgical and endovascular interventions, yet disparities in outcomes persist.

  • 4

    The CDC WONDER database analysis from 1999 to 2023 reveals decreasing mortality rates for AD, particularly among older adults and males.

  • 5

    This study highlights the need for targeted interventions based on demographic and regional disparities in AA and AD mortality.
