Key result
Primary angiosarcoma of the aorta had an overall median survival of 210 days, with lack of metastasis serving as a marker of longer survival (p<0.03).
Why the study?
To elucidate the epidemiology, anatomical presentation, classification, pathology, investigative modalities, management, and prognosis of primary angiosarcoma of the aorta.
What are the clinical characteristics, presentation, and prognosis of primary angiosarcoma of the aorta?
Systematic Review (n=123)
What are the clinical characteristics, presentation, and prognosis of primary angiosarcoma of the aorta?
p-value: p=<0.03
Primary angiosarcoma of the aorta is a rare condition with a poor prognosis (median survival 7 months), though absence of metastasis is associated with longer survival.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Emphasizes guarded prognosis in aortic angiosarcoma; extends case series by confirming metastasis status as key prognostic factor.
Kordzadeh et al. (2021) conducted a systematic review in Primary angiosarcoma of the aorta (n=123). Primary angiosarcoma of the aorta was evaluated on Survival (p=<0.03). Primary angiosarcoma of the aorta had an overall median survival of 210 days, with lack of metastasis serving as a marker of longer survival (p<0.03).
