Although degenerative lesions of the medial layer were present in all specimens -intralamellar mucoid-, substantial atherosclerosis with risk factor profile coexisted in approximately one quarter of cases. Patients with mixed degenerative-atherosclerotic abnormalities had a coherent clinical risk profile, a clinical presentation frequently mimicking acute coronary syndrome, and a higher incidence of non aorta-related events during follow-up.
Clinical Validity of Genes for Heritable ThoracicAortic Aneurysms and Dissections (HTAAD)
M Renard et. al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2018;72:605
J Am Coll Cardiol 2018;72:605
Up to 25% of individuals with TAD harbor an underlying Mendelian pathogenic variant. Using the Clinical Genome Resource or ClinGenframework.(NIH 2013), genes were classified based on the strength of association with HTAAD into 5 categories: definitive (n=9), strong(n=2), moderate (n=4), limited (n=15), and no reported evidence (n=23). Eleven genes in the definitive and strong groups were designated as “HTAAD genes” or category A. Eight genes were classified as unlikely to be progressive or category B, and 4 as low risk or category C.

Nonsyndromic Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Dissectionvs Marfan’s vs. Bicuspid Aortic Valve Aneurysm
Genetic aortopathy (GA) underlies thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) in younger adults. Diagnosis of TAA was made for 760 patients (NS-TAA, n=311; MFS, n=221; BAV, n=228). The 687 patients surviving > 30 days after presentation were followed for a median of 7 years. Clinical outcomes for MFS and NS-TAA are similar but worse than BAV. Independent predictors of mortality, including family history of aortic dissection and age. Management of NS-TAA, including surgical intervention, should be similar to that of MFS.AG Sherrah et al., J Am Coll Cardiol 2016; 67:618 (Sydney)

b) MRI-USPIO – AAA Inflammation PredictsExpansion, Rupture, and Need for Surgical Repair
Ultrasmall superparamagnetic particles of iron oxide or USPIO, detect cellular inflammation (macrophages) on MRI. In a prospective multicenter open-label cohort study, 342 patients with AAA (diameter ≥40 mm) were classified by the presence of USPIO enhancement and were monitored with serial ultrasound and clinical follow-up for ≥2 years. The primary end point was the composite of aneurysm rupture or repair. USPIO-enhanced MRI predicts the rate of aneurysm growth and clinical outcome. However, it does not provide further information recognized by clinical risk factors.MARS Study Investigators (D Newby et. al) Circulation. 2017;136:787

1b) Losartan vs Atenolol to Prevent Aortic Dilation in Marfan Syndrome
Beta-blockers (BB) are the standard treatment in MFS. A total of 128 patients included in the previous LOAT clinical trial, 64 in the atenolol and 64 in the losartan group, were followed up to >5 years. There were no differences in aortic dilation rate or presence of clinical events between treatment groups. Therefore, losartan might be a useful, low-risk alternative to BB in the long-term management

1c) A total of 1,213 hospitalized AA/AD patients were identified between 2001 and 2011. In the main case crossover analysis, exposure to fluoroquinolone was more frequent during the hazard periods (60 days prior) than during the referent periods (60 to 180 days). Exposure to fluoroquinolone was substantially associated with AA/AD.

About 415 patients aged 70 years or older who underwent ascending aortic surgery, 285 were age 70-79 years and 130 were age ≥80 years. Surgical indications included aortic aneurysm (63.1%), calcified aorta with need for other cardiac procedure (26.4%), and type A dissection (10.5%). Advanced age alone should not be a contraindication for ascending aortic surgery.
d) Staged Aorta Repair in Marfan Syndrome
Between October 1999 and December 2017, 82 patients with Marfansyndrome underwent 118 aortic repairs. We divided the aorta into 4 segments for categorization: (1) the aortic root, (2) aortic arch, (3) descending thoracic, and (4) abdominal aorta. Staged repair was defined as a subsequent operation on a different segment of the aorta after initial repair (n=111. 94.1%), and reoperation was defined as an operation on the same segment (n=7, 5.9%).The mean age at initial operation was 41.7 ± 14.9 years. Staged repairs included aortic root replacement (n=42, 36%), total arch replacement (n=11, 9.3%), combined aortic root and total arch replacement (n=13, 11%), thoracoabdominal aortic repair (n=36, 31%). Operative mortality was 0.8% (1/118). Stroke occurred in 1.7% (2/118), and spinal cord injury occurred in 1.7% (2/117). Overall survival was 95.8 ± 2.4% at 10-years. Twenty-four patients underwent replacement of the whole aorta.

1). Screening for AAA: U.S. Preventive ServicesTask Force Recommendation Statement
• The USPSTF recommends 1-time screening for AAA with ultrasonography in men aged 65 to 75 years who have ever smoked. (B recommendation)
• The USPSTF recommends that clinicians selectively offer screening for AAA in men aged 65 to 75 years who have never smoked (C recommendation)
• The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening for AAA in women aged 65 to 75 years who have ever smoked. (1 statement)
• The USPSTF recommends against routine screening for AAA in women who have never smoked. (D recommendation)

Growth Rate for Small AAA – Meta-Analysis
Small AAAs of 3.0 cm – 5.4 cm in diameter are monitored by ultrasound surveillance. The intervals between surveillance scans should be chosen to detect an expanding aneurysm prior to rupture. Studies were identified for inclusion through a systematic literature search through December 2010. Study authors were contacted, which yielded 18 data sets providing repeated ultrasound measurements of AAA diameter over time in 15,471 patients. Predictions of the risk of exceeding 5.5-cm diameter and of rupture within given time intervals were estimated. Growth rates increased on average by 0.59 mm per year. In contrast to the commonly adopted surveillance intervals in current AAA screening programs, surveillance intervals of several years may be clinically acceptable for the majority of patients with small AAA.

3). Endovascular or Open Repair For Ruptured AAA One-year Outcomes
This pragmatic multicentre (29 UK and 1 Canada) trial randomized 613 patients with a clinical diagnosis of ruptured aneurysm; 316 to an endovascular first strategy and 297 to open repair. The principal 1-year outcome was mortality; secondary outcomes were re-interventions, hospital discharge, health-related quality-of-life (Qol) (EQ-5D), costs. An endovascular first strategy does not offer a survival benefit over 1 year but offers patients faster discharge with better Qol and is cost-effective.
