Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and renal artery stenosis (RAS) standing out as significant contributors to the vascular pathology spectrum. While these conditions have traditionally been approached as distinct entities, emerging evidence suggests a compelling interdependent relationship between AAA and RAS, challenging the conventional siloed understanding. The confluence of AAA and RAS represents a complex interplay within the cardiovascular system, one that is often overlooked in clinical practice and research.

Article Synopsis
  • Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a serious vascular condition that currently only has surgical treatment options for advanced stages, with inflammation playing a key role in its development.* -
  • A genetic study used Mendelian randomization to analyze the relationship between various inflammatory factors and AAA, identifying specific factors that could either increase or decrease the risk of developing the condition.* -
  • The findings suggest that targeting certain inflammatory factors could offer new strategies for preventing and treating AAA without surgical intervention.*

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to estimate factors affecting survival in prenatally diagnosed hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and echocardiographic features predicting poor prognosis and early neonatal death.

Methods: This study was designed as a retrospective cohort study. Cases of hypoplastic left heart syndrome diagnosed in the prenatal period between 2014 and 2023 were extracted from electronic medical records.

Wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis and aortic stenosis: Can carpal tunnel syndrome help distinguish the chicken from the egg?

J Intern Med

November 2024

Referral Center for Cardiac Amyloidosis, Mondor Amyloidosis Network, GRC Amyloid Research Institute and Cardiology Department, APHP Henri Mondor Hospital, Créteil, France.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the relationship between transthyretin wild-type cardiac amyloidosis (TTRwt-CA) and aortic stenosis (AS), proposing a bidirectional connection where each condition may influence the other and lead to systemic manifestations, including carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
  • - In a sample of 411 TTRwt-CA patients, approximately 70% had CTS, which correlated with younger age, more severe cardiac remodeling, and a higher frequency of extracardiac symptoms, while AS occurred in 21% of those with CTS and 31% without.
  • - The research indicates that CTS may differentiate two phenotypes of TTRwt-CA: one associated with systemic involvement and poorly calcified low-flow

A Revolutionary Device for Endovascular Aortic Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: A Pilot Study.

F1000Res

November 2024

Department of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine University of Indonesia, University of Indonesia Academic Hospital, National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita, Jakarta, Jakarta, 11420, Indonesia.

Article Synopsis
  • Endovascular repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) has been the preferred method since 1991, with new techniques like contralateral gate cannulation being developed to enhance the process.
  • A new device called the Taofan and Kang (T&K) bidirectional endovascular aortic repair (B-EVAR) was introduced, utilizing a unique approach to deploy stent grafts through both femoral arteries while ensuring safety and effectiveness.
  • In a pilot study involving six patients, the T&K B-EVAR showed promising results with no complications or prolonged hospital stays, indicating it simplifies the AAA repair process and could be beneficial for a wider range of patients.
