Prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients with Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm: A Prospective, Parallel Cohort Study

Patients with TAA have a higher prevalence of OSA when compared to the general population. Since OSA is effectively treatable and might contribute to the pathogenesis of TAA, further longitudinal trials are needed to assess the association between OSA and TAA.
