"Complications"

Line 88:1 · "Complications" is under the wrong parent heading (found under "Treatment and prognosis").

Commas

suggestion

"Generally, patients are elderly, more frequently male and with a long history of hypertension ^2,5. Additionally, connective tissue disorders (e.g. Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome), as well as bicuspid aortic valve and annuloaortic ectasia, are risk factors, particularly for aortic dissection ^2,5."

Line 11:126 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"If the aortic root or ascending aorta is involved, patients may present with shock, hypotension and congestive heart failure ⁹."

Line 14:88 · Use the Oxford comma in 'shock, hypotension and congestive'.

"Imaging of patients presenting with suspected acute aortic syndrome in most centres typically involves a CT of the chest as it is readily available, fast to acquire, has been shown to have very high sensitivity and specificity, and is able to image not only the aorta but also the remainder of the neck, chest and abdomen. MRI and transoesophageal echocardiography are also helpful in some situations, however, access is usually more restricted ⁶."

Line 16:302 · Use the Oxford comma in 'neck, chest and abdomen'.

"Up to 30% of cases of AAS have complications at the time of presentation ⁸. These include (depending on the type, location and extent of AAS):"

Line 89:123 · Use the Oxford comma in 'type, location and extent'.

Inline EG

suggestion

"in patients with prior TEVAR delayed phase improves detection of slow endoleaks (e.g. type 2 leaks)"

Line 75:102 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.
