Pulmonary Artery Compression and Invasion by a Ruptured Giant Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm: A Rare Presentation.

ABSTRACT: Highlights•Giant TAA is a life-threatening condition with a high risk for rupture.•TAA may compress the PAs and cause severe PH leading to RVF mimicking PTE.•PA rupture by an enlarged TAA is rare, and the prognosis is poor.•Inflammatory diseases are frequent causes of ascending aortic aneurysms in young patients.•Multimodality cardiovascular imaging is indispensable in assessing TAA.

Acute aortic syndromes and thoracic aortic aneurysm.

Project description:Acute and chronic aortic diseases have been diagnosed and studied by physicians for centuries. Both the diagnosis and treatment of aortic diseases have been steadily improving over time, largely because of increased physician awareness and improvements in diagnostic modalities. This comprehensive review discusses the pathophysiology and risk factors, classification schemes, epidemiology, clinical presentations, diagnostic modalities, management options, and outcomes of various aortic conditions, including acute aortic dissection (and its variants intramural hematoma and penetrating aortic ulcers) and thoracic aortic aneurysms. Literature searches of the PubMed database were conducted using the following keywords: aortic dissection, intramural hematoma, aortic ulcer, and thoracic aortic aneurysm. Retrospective and prospective studies performed within the past 20 years were included in the review; however, most data are from the past 15 years.

Loss-of-function mutations in TGFB2 cause a syndromic presentation of thoracic aortic aneurysm.

Project description:Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) associates with a tissue signature for high transforming growth factor (TGF)-? signaling but is often caused by heterozygous mutations in genes encoding positive effectors of TGF-? signaling, including either subunit of the TGF-? receptor or SMAD3, thereby engendering controversy regarding the mechanism of disease. Here, we report heterozygous mutations or deletions in the gene encoding the TGF-?2 ligand for a phenotype within the LDS spectrum and show upregulation of TGF-? signaling in aortic tissue from affected individuals. Furthermore, haploinsufficient Tgfb2(+/-) mice have aortic root aneurysm and biochemical evidence of increased canonical and noncanonical TGF-? signaling. Mice that harbor both a mutant Marfan syndrome (MFS) allele (Fbn1(C1039G/+)) and Tgfb2 haploinsufficiency show increased TGF-? signaling and phenotypic worsening in association with normalization of TGF-?2 expression and high expression of TGF-?1. Taken together, these data support the hypothesis that compensatory autocrine and/or paracrine events contribute to the pathogenesis of TGF-?-mediated vasculopathies.

Ruptured pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm presenting with duodenal obstruction.

Project description:Visceral aneurysms of the pancreaticoduodenal arcades are rare. Although these aneurysms are often asymptomatic and identified incidentally on cross-sectional imaging, aneurysm rupture presents significant morbidity. Ruptured pancreaticoduodenal arcade aneurysms typically present with abdominal pain, hemorrhagic shock, or gastrointestinal bleeding. A 72-year-old male presented with nausea and vomiting and was found to have imaging evidence of duodenal obstruction. This was due to a duodenal intramural hematoma caused by a ruptured submucosal aneurysm supplied by a branch of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery in the presence of median arcuate ligament compression of the celiac artery. This was subsequently treated with endovascular embolization with clinical improvement in duodenal obstruction. This case illustrates an unusual presentation of a ruptured pancreaticoduodenal arcade aneurysm.

Telomere Biology and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm.

Project description:Ascending aortic aneurysms are mostly asymptomatic and present a great risk of aortic dissection or perforation. Consequently, ascending aortic aneurysms are a source of lethality with increased age. Biological aging results in progressive attrition of telomeres, which are the repetitive DNA sequences at the end of chromosomes. These telomeres play an important role in protection of genomic DNA from end-to-end fusions. Telomere maintenance and telomere attrition-associated senescence of endothelial and smooth muscle cells have been indicated to be part of the pathogenesis of degenerative vascular diseases. This systematic review provides an overview of telomeres, telomere-associated proteins and telomerase to the formation and progression of aneurysms of the thoracic ascending aorta. A better understanding of telomere regulation in the vascular pathology might provide new therapeutic approaches. Measurements of telomere length and telomerase activity could be potential prognostic biomarkers for increased risk of death in elderly patients suffering from an aortic aneurysm.

A Ruptured Coronary Artery Aneurysm Secondary to Kawasaki Disease.

Project description:Coronary artery aneurysm occurs in 0.3%-0.8% of patients with Kawasaki disease, and cases of rupture are extremely rare. Only 2 cases have been reported in which the patients survived. We report a case of ruptured coronary artery aneurysm that was treated with coronary artery bypass grafting and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

A Rare Clinical Case: Giant Splenic Artery Aneurysm and Its Successful Endovascular Treatment.

Project description:The true giant splenic artery aneurysms are extremely rare and can be fatal. Although surgical approach has been the standard of care in the past, endovascular methods gained more importance in recent years.We describe a case with true giant splenic artery aneurysm, treated with endovascular approach.A 68-year-old female patient with abdominal pain admitted to our clinic had true splenic artery aneurysm (14 × 10 × 9 cm). We decided on endovascular treatment using vascular plug and the treatment was performed successfully.Due to high mortality and morbidity in open surgery, endovascular treatment of giant splenic artery aneurysm is a better treatment option.

Reproducible porcine model of thoracic aortic aneurysm.

Project description:Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) develop secondary to abnormal aortic extracellular matrix remodeling, resulting in a weakened and dilated aortic wall that progressed to rupture if left unattended. Currently, no diagnostic/prognostic tests are available for the detection of TAA disease. This is largely driven by the lack of a large animal model, which would permit longitudinal/mechanistic studies. Accordingly, the objective of the present study was to establish a reproducible porcine model of aortic dilatation, which recapitulates the structural and biochemical changes observed during human TAA development.Descending TAAs were induced in Yorkshire pigs (20-25 kg; n=7) through intra-adventitial injections of collagenase (5 mL, 0.35 mg/mL) and periadventitial application of crystalline CaCl2 (0.5 g). Three weeks after TAA induction, aortas were harvested and tissue was collected for biochemical and histological measurements. A subset of animals underwent MRI preoperatively and at terminal surgery. Results were compared with sham-operated controls (n=6). Three weeks after TAA induction, aortic luminal area increased by 38 ± 13% (P=0.018 versus control). Aortic structural changes included elastic lamellar degradation and decreased collagen content. The protein abundance of matrix metalloproteinases 3, 8, 9, and 12 increased in TAA tissue homogenates, whereas tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases 1 and 4 decreased.These data demonstrate aortic dilatation, aortic medial degeneration, and alterations in matrix metalloproteinase/tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase abundance, consistent with TAA formation. This study establishes for the first time a large animal model of TAA that recapitulates the hallmarks of human disease and provides a reproducible test bed for examining diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic strategies.
