Pre-emptive Endovascular Repair for Uncomplicated Type B Dissection - Is this an Option?

Type B aortic dissection (TBAD) primarily affects men aged 60-65, with hypertension in over 80% of cases. The gold standard for the treatment of uncomplicated acute TBAD is Best Medical Therapy (BMT), which focused on controlling blood pressure and heart rate. However, Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) has gained attention over the years, especially for complicated TBAD cases, by covering the primary entry tear, lowering false lumen pressure, and promoting aortic remodeling.

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a vascular disorder characterized by steno-occlusive alterations in cerebral arteries, often resulting in ischemic or hemorrhagic events predominantly affecting the female population and more common in Asian populations. Despite its predominantly neurological manifestations, recent research suggests a potential association between MMD and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). MMD involves various genetic and environmental factors, with mutations in the RNF213 gene being strongly implicated in disease susceptibility, with histopathological findings revealing intimal lesions and smooth muscle proliferation, contributing to vascular occlusion as well as dysregulation of circulating endothelial and smooth muscle progenitor cells further complicating MMD's pathogenesis.

Restenosis remains a long-standing limitation to effectively maintain functional blood flow after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). While the use of drug-coated balloons (DCBs) containing antiproliferative drugs has improved patient outcomes, limited tissue transfer and poor therapeutic targeting capabilities contribute to off-target cytotoxicity, precluding adequate endothelial repair. In this work, a DCB system was designed and tested to achieve defined arterial delivery of an antirestenosis therapeutic candidate, cadherin-2 (N-cadherin) mimetic peptides (NCad), shown to selectively inhibit smooth muscle cell migration and limit intimal thickening in early animal PTA models.

Background: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedures including cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation have proven to be safe and effective therapies for the treatment of many cardiac tachyarrhythmias. The incidence of coronary arterial injury (CAI) associated with RFA including CTI ablation is estimated to occur in <0.1% of patients.
