The authors provide a scheme of a comprehensive diagnosis of the aortic arch syndrome in nonspecific aortoarteritis. It includes the clinical and laboratory data together with the data on the anamnesis, angiography and ultrasound dopplerography. The derangement of the aortic arch was diagnosed in 65 (41%) out of 128 patients. There were 53 (81.5%) women and 12 (18.5%) men. The derangement of the branches of the aortic arch was most frequently (in 33.8% patients) associated with vasorenal hypertension syndrome. The use of modern research methods in combination with the clinical data and findings of objective examinations turned out fairly effective in the diagnosis of the derangement of the aortic arch in nonspecific aortoarteritis.

Background: Thoracic aortic pathologies involving the aortic arch are a great challenge for vascular surgeons. Maintaining the patency of supra-aortic branches while excluding the aortic lesion remains difficult. Thoracic EndoVascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) with fenestrations provides a feasible and effective approach for this type of disease.

Objectives: Celiac artery (CA) incorporation during FB-EVAR for complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (cAAA) is typically performed with fenestrations. Double-wide scallops (DWS) can be used when appropriate. We aimed to assess outcomes of patients treated with DWS for the CA during FB-EVAR for cAAA.

Management Strategies for Truncus Arteriosus: A Comparative Analysis of Staged vs. Primary Repair.

Pediatr Cardiol

We reviewed the outcomes of truncus arteriosus repair (primary vs. staged repair incorporating bilateral pulmonary artery banding), focusing on survival, reintervention, and functional data. We analyzed 39 patients who underwent a first intervention for truncus arteriosus (staged, n = 19; primary, n = 20) between 1992 and 2022.

XOR-Derived ROS in Tie2-Lineage Cells Including Endothelial Cells Promotes Aortic Aneurysm Progression in Marfan Syndrome.

Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol

January 2025

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Bunkyo-ku, Japan. (H. Yagi, H.A., Q.L., A.S.-K., M.U., H.K., R.M., A.S., S.O., H.T., Norifumi Takeda, I.K.).

Background: Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an inherited disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding fibrillin-1, a matrix component of extracellular microfibrils. The main cause of morbidity and mortality in MFS is thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection, but the underlying mechanisms remain undetermined.

Methods: To elucidate the role of endothelial XOR (xanthine oxidoreductase)-derived reactive oxygen species in aortic aneurysm progression, we inhibited in vivo function of XOR either by endothelial cell (EC)-specific disruption of the gene or by systemic administration of an XOR inhibitor febuxostat in MFS mice harboring the missense mutation p.

Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair remains one of the most challenging procedures and is associated with high mortality and complication rates. Careful consideration of the surgical strategy is essential, particularly in cases involving extensive replacement and high-risk patients. A 61-year-old man with a 55-mm TAAA was referred for surgical treatment.
