RESUMO

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a rare congenital disorder of the connective tissue, leading to thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) and dissection, among other complications. Currently, the most efficient strategy to prevent life-threatening dissection is preventive surgery. Periodic imaging applying complex techniques is required to monitor TAA progression and to guide the timing of surgical intervention. Thus, there is an acute demand for non-invasive biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis, as well as for innovative therapeutic targets of MFS. Unraveling the intricate pathomolecular mechanisms underlying the syndrome is vital to address these needs. High-throughput platforms are particularly well-suited for this purpose, as they enable the integration of different datasets, such as transcriptomic and epigenetic profiles. In this narrative review, we summarize relevant studies investigating changes in both the coding and non-coding transcriptome and epigenome in MFS-induced TAA. The collective findings highlight the implicated pathways, such as TGF-ß signaling, extracellular matrix structure, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Potential candidates as biomarkers, such as miR-200c, as well as therapeutic targets emerged, like Tfam, associated with mitochondrial respiration, or miR-632, stimulating endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition. While these discoveries are promising, rigorous and extensive validation in large patient cohorts is indispensable to confirm their clinical relevance and therapeutic potential.

RESUMO

Aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection (AAD) are severe life-threatening cardiovascular disorders for which no approved pharmaceutical therapies are currently available. Protein S-nitrosylation (SNO) is a typical redox-dependent posttranslational modification whose role in AAD has yet to be described. Recently, Zhang et al. revealed for the first time that SNO modification of macrophage cytoskeletal protein septin2 promotes vascular inflammation and extracellular matrix degradation in aortic aneurysm. Mechanically, the TIAM1-RAC1(T lymphoma invasion and metastasis-inducing protein 1-Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1) axis participates in the progression of AAD induced with S-nitrosylated septin2. More importantly, developing R-ketorolac and NSC23766 compounds that specifically target the TIAM1-RAC1 pathway may be new a potential strategy for alleviating AAD.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Endovascular stent therapy (EST) for spontaneous isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection (SISMAD) is gaining popularity, yet the treatment strategy - BMT or EST - remains debatable. METHODS: A meta-analysis examined all randomized trials and observational studies exploring the relative merits and potential risks of EST vs. BMT in treating SISMAD patients. Key outcomes included early and long-term adverse effects, with odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) calculated. A random- or fixed-effects model was selected according to a 50% heterogeneity threshold. RESULTS: 9 observational studies involving a total of 672 SISMAD patients (303 EST), met our selection criteria. We discovered no noteworthy distinctions between the EST group and the BMT group in terms of early symptoms' alleviation, reinterventions, or all-cause mortality. However, patients receiving EST management will be hospitalized longer than those receiving BMT (EST: 13.2 ± 5.1 months vs. BMT: 7.0 ± 2.2 months, P < 0.01). In the long run, EST was found to significantly contribute to a higher rate of complete remodeling (OR: 4.53, CI: 3.01 ~ 6.81, P < 0.01; heterogeneity, I2 = 50%) and a lower incidence of aneurysm formation (OR: 0.19, CI: 0.06 ~ 0.6, P < 0.01; heterogeneity, I2 = 0%) than BMT. However, there are no significant differences between ESTand BMTin terms of all-cause mortality, recurrent syndrome, reintervention, and SMA stenosis or occlusion. CONCLUSION: EST can effectively prevent the formation of aneurysmal dissection and improve SISMAD remodeling. Both EST and BMT are similar in reducing long-term mortality, recurrent symptoms, severe SMA stenosis or occlusion, and the need for reintervention in patients with SISMAD.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of previous cardiac surgery (PCS) on clinical outcomes after reoperative extended arch repair for acute type A aortic dissection. METHODS: This study included 37 acute type A aortic dissection patients with PCS (PCS group) and 992 without PCS (no-PCS group). Propensity score-matching yielded a subgroup of 36 pairs (1:1). In-hospital outcomes and mid-term survival were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS: The PCS group was older (56.7 ± 14.2 vs 52.2 ± 12.6 years, P = 0.036) and underwent a longer cardiopulmonary bypass (median, 212 vs 183 min, P < 0.001) compared with the no-PCS group. Operative death occurred in 88 (8.6%) patients, exhibiting no significant difference between groups (13.5% vs 8.4%, P = 0.237). Major postoperative morbidity was observed in 431 (41.9%) patients, also showing no difference between groups (45.9% vs 41.7%, P = 0.615). Moreover, the multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that PCS was not significantly associated with operative mortality (adjusted odds ratio 2.58, 95% confidence interval 0.91-7.29, P = 0.075) or major morbidity (adjusted odds ratio 1.92, 95% confidence interval 0.88-4.18, P = 0.101). The 3-year cumulative survival rates were 71.1% for the PCS group and 83.9% for the no-PCS group (log-rank P = 0.071). Additionally, Cox regression indicated that PCS was not significantly associated with midterm mortality (adjusted hazard ratio 1.40, 95% confidence interval 0.44-4.41, P = 0.566). After matching, no significant differences were found between groups in terms of operative mortality (P > 0.999), major morbidity (P > 0.999) and midterm survival (P = 0.564). CONCLUSIONS: No significant differences were found between acute type A aortic dissection patients with PCS and those without PCS regarding in-hospital outcomes and midterm survival after extended arch repair.

RESUMO

RATIONALE: Bevacizumab (Bev) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets vascular endothelial growth factor A and is primarily used for the treatment of various solid tumors. Aortic dissection (AD) is a severe vascular disease caused by the tearing of the intimal layer of the aorta or bleeding within the aortic wall, resulting in the separation of different layers of the aortic wall. However, the pathogenesis is not fully understood. Some studies have suggested that Bev treatment is associated with the occurrence of AD. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 67-year-old Chinese male was diagnosed with rectal cancer accompanied by liver and lung metastasis. Three days after starting combined chemotherapy with Bev, the patient developed persistent abdominal pain. Abdominal CT scan revealed celiac trunk AD in the abdominal aorta. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed with rectal cancer accompanied by liver and lung metastases. Abdominal CT tomography revealed a celiac trunk AD. INTERVENTIONS: Somatostatin combined with valsartan was used to control blood pressure. The patient was subsequently referred for vascular surgery and underwent an abdominal aortic angiography. Conservative treatment was continued. OUTCOMES: Three months after the initiation of treatment, follow-up abdominal CT scans showed stability in the condition of celiac trunk AD, with no abdominal pain or hypertension. There were no signs of worsening dissection, aneurysm formation, or inadequate perfusion of end organs. LESSONS: There may be a connection between Bev and elevated blood pressure as well as celiac trunk AD.

RESUMO

The surgical outcomes of aortic root replacement for Stanford type A acute aortic dissection( AAAD) remain unacceptable with a 30-day mortality rate of 20%. Additionally, in young patients requiring aortic root replacement for AAAD, the preservation of native valve is desirable, yet challenging to achieve in emergent surgery with poor preoperative status. Ideally, we aim to avoid aortic root replacement whenever possible, opting instead for partial remodeling even in cases necessitating incision into the aortic root. We present our surgical outcomes in the strategy for aortic root pathology due to AAAD. We conducted an analysis of 517 cases of AAAD surgery from 2002 to 2023, wherein 499 cases( 96%) underwent aortic root preservation, 10 cases( 1.9%) underwent partial remodeling, and 8 cases( 1.5%)necessitated emergent aortic root replacement. Of these, 13 cases underwent aortic root replacement after AAAD repair( 8 David procedures and 5 Bentall procedures), all demonstrating favorable surgical outcomes, including long-term results. We believe that this strategy for aortic root pathology holds significant merit, particularly in AAAD in young patients with enlarged aortic root.

RESUMO

Studies have demonstrated a close correlation between MicroRNA and the occurrence of aortic dissection (AD). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this relationship have not been fully elucidated and further exploration is still required. In this study, we found that miR-485-3p was significantly upregulated in human aortic dissection tissues. Meanwhile, we constructed in vitro AD models in HAVSMCs, HAECs and HAFs and found that the expression of miR-485-3p was increased only in HAVSMCs. Overexpression or knockdown of miR-485-3p in HAVSMCs could regulate the expression of inflammatory cytokines IL1ß, IL6, TNF-α, and NLRP3, as well as the expression of apoptosis-related proteins BAX/BCL2 and Cleaved caspase3/Caspase3. In the in vivo AD model, we have observed that miR-485-3p regulates vascular inflammation and apoptosis, thereby participating in the modulation of AD development in mice. Based on target gene prediction, we have validated that SIRT1 is a downstream target gene of miR-485-3p. Furthermore, by administering SIRT1 agonists and inhibitors to mice, we observed that the activation of SIRT1 alleviates vascular inflammation and apoptosis, subsequently reducing the incidence of AD. Additionally, functional reversal experiments revealed that overexpression of SIRT1 in HAVSMCs could reverse the cell inflammation and apoptosis mediated by miR-485-3p. Therefore, our research suggests that miR-485-3p can aggravate inflammation and apoptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells by suppressing the expression of SIRT1, thereby promoting the progression of aortic dissection.

RESUMO

Aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening condition with a high mortality rate and without effective pharmacological therapies. Our previous study illustrated that leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B4 (LILRB4) knockdown promoted the contractile phenotypic switch and apoptosis of AD cells. This study aimed to further investigate the role of LILRB4 in animal models of AD and elucidate its underlying molecular mechanisms. Animal models of AD were established using 0.1% beta-aminopropionitrile and angiotensin II and an in vitro model was developed using platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB). The effects of LILRB4 knockdown on histopathological changes, pyroptosis, phenotype transition, extracellular matrix (ECM), and Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathways were assessed using a series of in vivo and in vitro assays. The effects of the JAK2 inhibitor AG490 on AD cell function, phenotypic transition, and ECM were explored. LILRB4 was highly expressed in AD and its knockdown increased survival rate, reduced AD incidence, and alleviated histopathological changes in the AD mouse model. Furthermore, LILRB4 knockdown promoted contractile phenotype switch, stabilized the ECM, and inhibited pyroptosis. Mechanistically, LILRB4 knockdown inhibited the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. JAK2 inhibitor AG490 inhibited cell viability and migration, enhanced apoptosis, induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, and suppressed S-phase progression in PDGF-BB-stimulated human aortic smooth muscle cells. LILRB4 knockdown suppresses AD development by inhibiting pyroptosis and the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Acute Type A Aortic Dissection (AAAD) is one of the most life-threatening diseases, often associated with transient hyperglycemia induced by acute physiological stress. The impact of stress-induced hyperglycemia on the prognosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction has been reported. However, the relationship between stress-induced hyperglycemia and the prognosis of AAAD patients remains uncertain. METHODS: The clinical data of 456 patients with acute type A aortic dissection were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups based on their admission blood glucose. Cox model regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between stress-induced hyperglycemia and the 30-day and 1-year mortality rates of these patients. RESULTS: Among the 456 patients, 149 cases (32.7%) had AAAD combined with stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH). The results of the multifactor regression analysis of the Cox model indicated that hyperglycemia (RR = 1.505, 95% CI: 1.046-2.165, p = 0.028), aortic coarctation involving renal arteries (RR = 3.330, 95% CI: 2.237-4.957, p < 0.001), aortic coarctation involving superior mesenteric arteries (RR = 1.611, 95% CI: 1.056-2.455, p = 0.027), and aortic coarctation involving iliac arteries (RR = 2.034, 95% CI: 1.364-3.035, p = 0.001) were independent influences on 1-year postoperative mortality in AAAD patients. CONCLUSION: The current findings indicate that stress-induced hyperglycemia measured on admission is strongly associated with 1-year mortality in patients with AAAD. Furthermore, stress-induced hyperglycemia may be related to the severity of the condition in patients with AAAD.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT: Intraoperative aortic dissection is a life-threatening emergency. The prognosis of patients with aortic dissection has markedly improved in recent years due to prompt diagnosis and the institution of effective medical and surgical therapy. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is helpful in the evaluation of this life-threatening disorder.

RESUMO

A 60-year-old man with hypertension and dyslipidemia complained of chest pain upon ascending from a maximum depth of 27 meters while diving. After reaching the shore, his chest pain persisted, and he called an ambulance. When a physician checked him on the doctor's helicopter, his electrocardiogram (ECG) was normal, and there were no bubbles in his inferior vena cava or heart on a portable ultrasound examination. The physician still suspected that he had acute coronary syndrome instead of decompression illness; therefore, he was transported to our hospital. After arrival at the hospital, standard cardiac echography showed a flap in the ascending aorta. Immediate enhanced computed tomography revealed Stanford type A aortic dissection. The patient obtained a survival outcome after emergency surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of aortic dissection potentially associated with scuba diving. It highlights the importance of considering aortic dissection in patients with sudden-onset chest pain during physical activity. In addition, this serves as a reminder that symptoms during scuba diving are not always related to decompression. This report also suggests the usefulness of on-site ultrasound for the differential diagnosis of decompression sickness from endogenous diseases that induce chest pain. Further clinical studies of this management approach are warranted.

RESUMO

While Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 mandates use of interpreters for patients with limited English proficiency, significant disparities persist in intensive postsurgical care. We present the case of a 60-year-old Vietnamese-speaking man with a Type A aortic dissection requiring postoperative mechanical ventilation and stroke care. Despite use of a remote video interpreter, our language-discordant nursing and physician providers faced challenges in managing agitation and delirium and assessing neurological function. This case highlights the need for adequate interpretation equipment, linguistic diversity among providers, and interventions to promote and enable consistent certified and professional medical interpreter use.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection (TAAD) is characterized by a high in-hospital mortality rate and necessitates urgent surgical intervention. While socioeconomic status is known to influence health-care outcomes, its specific association with TAAD remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the population-based association between socioeconomic status with TAAD repair outcomes using a national registry. METHODS: Patients who had TAAD repair were identified in National Inpatient Sample from Q4 2015-2020. National Inpatient Sample stratified estimated median household income of residents within a patient's ZIP code. Patients residing in neighborhoods of incomes in the lowest and highest quartiles were selected as the study cohorts. Multivariable logistic regressions were used to compare in-hospital outcomes, adjusted for demographics, comorbid conditions, hospital characteristics, primary payer status, and transfer status. RESULTS: Compared to patients from high-income neighborhoods, patients in low-income communities had higher risks of mortality (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.45, P = 0.01), acute kidney injury (aOR 1.225, P = 0.03), and infection (aOR 1.474, P = 0.02), as well as longer wait from admission to operation (24.96 ± 2.64 versus 18.00 ± 1.92 h, P = 0.03) and longer length of stay (15.06 ± 0.38 versus 13.80 ± 0.36 d, P = 0.01). In contrast, patients from low-income communities had less risk of hemorrhage/hematoma (aOR 0.691, P < 0.01) and lower total hospital charge (428,746 ± 10,658 versus 487,017 ± 16,770 US dollars, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Evidence suggests patients from lower-income communities may have limited access to health care and treatment delays, leading to higher mortality and complications. The underlying reasons for these disparities in economically disadvantaged communities warrant further investigation, which could focus on health-care accessibility, timely detection of TAAD, and prompt transfers to specialized centers.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Acute type A aortic dissection is a dangerous disease that threatens public health. In recent years, with the progress of medical technology, the mortality rate of patients after surgery has been gradually reduced, leading that previous prediction models may not be suitable for nowadays. Therefore, the present study aims to find new independent risk factors for predicting in-hospital mortality and construct a nomogram prediction model. METHODS: The clinical data of 341 consecutive patients in our center from 2019 to 2023 were collected, and they were divided into two groups according to the death during hospitalization. The independent risk factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression, and the nomogram was constructed and verified based on these factors. RESULTS: age, preoperative lower limb ischemia, preoperative activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), preoperative platelet count, Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) independently predicted in-hospital mortality of patients with acute type A aortic dissection after surgery. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for the nomogram was 0.844. The calibration curve and decision curve analysis verified that the model had good quality. CONCLUSION: The new nomogram model has a good ability to predict the in-hospital mortality of patients with acute type A aortic dissection after surgery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The surgical evaluation and management of non-A non-B aortic dissections, in the absence of ascending aortic involvement, remains a grey area. It is in these scenarios when thorough evaluation of patient/family history, clinical presentation, but also overall lifestyle, is of immense importance when determining an optimal intervention. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a 38-year-old patient with a physically demanding lifestyle as a professional wrestler, uncontrolled hypertension due to history of medical non-adherence, and family history of aortic dissection who presented with acute non-A non-B aortic dissection. He was spared a total arch replacement by undergoing a hybrid approach of complete aortic debranching with antegrade Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR). The patient was able to benefit from reduced cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time, avoidance of aortic cross clamp, circulatory arrest, and hypothermic circulation. CONCLUSIONS: This patient's unique composition of a physically demanding lifestyle, personal history of medical non-adherence, family history of aortic dissection, and clinical presentation required a holistic approach to understanding an ideal intervention that would be best suited long-term. Due to this contextualization, the patient was able to be spared a total arch replacement, or suboptimal medical management, by instead undergoing a hybrid-approach with total aortic arch debranching with antegrade TEVAR.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a minimally invasive technique used to treat type B aortic dissections. Left subclavian artery (LSA) reconstruction is required when treating patients with involvement of LSA. The best antiplatelet therapy after LSA reconstruction is presently uncertain. METHODS: This study retrospectively analyzed 245 type B aortic dissection patients who underwent left subclavian artery revascularization during TEVAR. Out of 245 patients, 159 (64.9%) were in the single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) group, receiving only aspirin, and 86 (35.1%) were in the dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) group, receiving aspirin combined with clopidogrel. During the 6-month follow-up, primary endpoints included hemorrhagic events (general bleeding and hemorrhagic strokes), while secondary endpoints comprised ischemic events (left upper limb ischemia, ischemic stroke, and thrombotic events), as well as death and leakage events. Both univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed on hemorrhagic and ischemic events, with the Kaplan-Meier method used to generate the survival curve. RESULTS: During the six-month follow-up, the incidence of hemorrhagic events in the DAPT group was higher (8.2% vs. 30.2%, P < 0.001). No significant differences were observed in ischemic events, death, or leakage events among the different antiplatelet treatment schemes. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that DAPT (HR: 2.22, 95% CI: 1.07-4.60, P = 0.032) and previous chronic conditions (HR:3.88, 95% CI: 1.24-12.14, P = 0.020) significantly affected the occurrence of hemorrhagic events. Chronic conditions in this study encompassed depression, vitiligo, and cholecystolithiasis. Carotid subclavian bypass (CSB) group (HR:0.29, 95% CI: 0.12-0.68, P = 0.004) and single-branched stent graft (SBSG) group (HR:0.26, 95% CI: 0.13-0.50, P < 0.001) had a lower rate of ischemic events than fenestration TEVAR (F-TEVAR). Survival analysis over 6 months revealed a lower risk of bleeding associated with SAPT during hemorrhagic events (P = 0.043). CONCLUSIONS: In type B aortic dissection patients undergoing LSA blood flow reconstruction after synchronous TEVAR, the bleeding risk significantly decreases with the SAPT regimen, and there is no apparent ischemic compensation within 6 months. Patients with previous chronic conditions have a higher risk of bleeding. The CSB group and SBSG group have less ischemic risk compared to F-TEVAR group.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Aneurysms of the pulmonary arteries and the ascending aorta are rare, and both bear a high mortality risk if left untreated. In general, these entities are primarily caused by etiologies such as hypertension, pulmonary arterial hypertension, infection or congenital disorders. Treatment requires a rapid diagnostic work-up or even immediate surgical intervention in acute cases. Nevertheless, surgery entails serious perioperative risks, in particular in patients with multiple comorbidities. CASE PRESENTATION: We discuss a 70-year-old woman presented with decompensated heart failure based on severe pulmonary artery hypertension, coincided by a massive pulmonary artery aneurysm with secondary embolism. Additional diagnostic imaging also showed a chronic post-dissection, saccular aneurysm of the ascending aorta. To our knowledge, this simultaneous diagnosis of a saccular aneurysm of the ascending aorta and a large aneurysm of the pulmonary artery with secondary embolism has not yet been described. Nonetheless, conservative treatment was chosen due to extensive pulmonal and cardiovascular comorbidities and the high-risk profile of surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Extensive aneurysmatic disease of the pulmonary arteries and ascending aorta come with a serious burden of disease, especially if coincided by severe pulmonal and cardiovascular comorbidities. Both conditions can be curatively treated by surgical intervention. However, in every case the risk of surgery and the patient's vitality, comorbidities and wishes should be taken into account to formulate an adequate treatment plan. Therefore, shared decision making is of utter importance.

RESUMO

Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are frequently used in the management of end-stage heart failure, especially given the limited availability of donor hearts. The latest HeartMate 3 LVAD delivers non-physiological continuous flow (CF), although the impact on the aorta is not well established. We highlight a case of aortic aneurysm formation complicated by dissection formation that necessitated high-risk re-operative surgery in a patient post CF-LVAD.

RESUMO

Single-stage total aortic replacement represents a comprehensive approach for patients at high risk of aorta-related complications between procedures. It not only avoids staged surgical treatment but also facilitates quicker rehabilitation. Opting for a radical surgery in such cases can yield superior outcomes compared with a staged approach, making it particularly suitable for young patients with aorta-related risk factors. Moreover, a single-stage aorta repair reduces the likelihood of subsequent aortic interventions.
