1 Arterial Tortuosity and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Thoracic Aortic Disease Shaine A Morris MD MPH Pediatric Cardiology Texas Children s Hospital Baylor College of Medicine Background Patients with geneticallymediated aortic disease like Marfan syndrome (MFS) and Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) are at high risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes Valve dysfunction Aortic aneurysm Aortic dissection 1

2 Background No good predictors of aortic dissection Current prophylactic surgery guidelines focus on a combination of genetic diagnosis with aortic dimensions: Marfan syndrome: 5.0 cm Loeys-Dietz syndrome: 4.2 cm Hiratzkaetal,Circulation2010 Aortic dimensions at Type A dissection in MFS and LDS M arfansyndrom e L oeys-dietzsyndrom e Kim etal.jct VS 2014,T uraetal.heart2016;w iliam setal,annt hors urg2015; L oeysetal,n EJM 2006,Ibaetal,AnnT hors urg2012,m orrisetal,circ2011; W iliam setal,annt hors urg2007 2

3 Arterial tortuosity Arterial tortuosity is a common feature with TGFBR1/2 mutations 1 Arterial tortuosity has since been described with many other gene mutations associated with dissection: FBN1 2 SMAD3 3 TGFB2 4 PRKG1 5 and Turner syndrome 6 X O T GFBR 2 FBN 1 1.

5 Arterial tortuosity- theories Vessel has maladaptation to axial stress, lengthens as an intrinsic effort to reduce stress along the vessel 1. Increased TGFb activity has also been postulated to affect the degree of arterial tortuosity 3 1.Hum phrey Jetal.JBiom ech Jacksonetal.ArteriosclerT hrom bvascbiol Frankenetal.IntJCard2015 New Study Study populations: Marfan, TGFBR1, TGFBR2 National Registry of Genetically Triggered Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Cardiovascular Conditions (GenTAC) Texas Children s Hospital patients, followed between 1980 and May 30,

Of the 27 Type A aortic dissections, only 7 patients had pre-dissection aortic imaging 2 LDS (both TGFBR2) 5 MFS (4 FBN1 +, other no testing but +EL) 6/7 dissected at root diameter <5.0 cm 3/7 had a prior aortic event (2 type B dissections, 1 prophylactic root replacement) What about root size?

11 Summary Arterial tortuosity, as assessed by VTI is present in many conditions associated with aortic dissection A VTI 50 is independently associated with earlier adverse cardiovascular outcomes, and has greater prognostic value than genetic diagnosis VTI should be taken into account when counseling and managing patients with MFS and LDS Thank you!
