27 1a) TAA in Marfan s (and Other?) - ARBs Look Promising COMPARE: evaluated the effect of losartan on aortic dilatation rate in adults with Marfan syndrome (MFS). Patients with MFS have an increased risk of life-threatening aortic complications, mostly preceded by aortic dilatation. A total of 233 patients (47% female) underwent randomization to losartan mg/d (n=116) or no additional treatment (n=117). Followup was 3.1 ± 0.4 years. End Points Losartan Control 1. Aortic-root enlargement (mm) No aortic-root growth (%) Previous root replacem.: significant lower aortic arch expaansion MARFAN SARTAN: 300 patients, 1ary EP-root diameter, 2ary EP-clinical M Groenink et al., EHJ 2013; Aug 21 - Netherlands p

28 1b) Atenolol vs Losartan in Children and Young Adults with Marfan s Syndrome We conducted a randomized trial comparing losartan with atenolol in children and young adults with Marfan s syndrome. The primary outcome was the rate of aortic-root enlargement, over a 3-year period. Secondary outcomes included the rate of change in the absolute diameter of the aortic root; the rate of change in aortic regurgitation; the time to aortic dissection, aortic-root surgery, or death; somatic growth; and the incidence of adverse events. A total of 21 clinical centers enrolled 608 participants, 6 months to 25 years of age (mean [±SD] age, 11.5±6 years. We found no significant difference in the rate of aortic-root dilatation between the two treatment groups over a 3-year period. RV Lacro et al., NEJM 2014; 371:2061 American Study

29 1c). Marfan Sartan: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial A double-blind, randomized, multi-centre, placebo-controlled, add on trial comparing Losartan (50 mg when < 50 kg, 100 mg otherwise) vs. placebo in patients with MFS according to Ghent criteria, age > 10 years old, and receiving standard therapy. 303 patients, mean age 29.9 years old, were randomized. The two groups were similar at baseline, 86% receiving β-blocker therapy. The median follow-up was 3.5 years. Losartan was able to decrease blood pressure in patients with MFS but not to limit aortic dilatation during a 3-year period in patients > 10 years old. β-blocker therapy alone should therefore remain the standard first line therapy in these patients.

34 Predictors of Early and Medium-Term Outcome of 200 Consecutive Aortic Valve and Root Repairs Between 2003 and 2013, 200 consecutive patients (149 men, 51 women; mean age, 52.1 years) with significant aortic regurgitation and aortic root enlargement underwent aortic valve repair and associated root reconstruction. Root management consisted of either root remodeling or reimplantation with Dacron prostheses. Early mortality was 2%, and early repair failure was 3%. Survival at a mean follow-up of 48.6 ± 34.3 months was 94%, with a freedom from reoperation of 91%. Repair failure and reoperation were associated with bicuspid valve and complex leaflet repair.

38 Early & Late Outcomes of Acute Type A Aortic Dissection With Intramural Hematoma Between 2000 and 2013, we performed 418 repairs for acute type A aortic dissection: 64 patients or 15% had type A IMH and 354 patients 85% with typical dissection. With IMH, the time from presentation to repair was, by strategy, longer (median, 67 vs 6 hours), but no mortality occurred within 3 days of presentation. Mortality with IMH did not differ from typical dissection (10.9% vs 14.7%). Although expectant repair within 3 days may be applied, the purposeful delay imparted little advantage.

Mortality with IMH did not differ from typical dissection (10.9% vs 14.7%).

41 2b) Acute Type A Aortic Dissection: Comparing Bicuspid vs Tricuspid Valve Between 1995 and 2011, 460 consecutive patients had acute type A aortic dissection % with TAV and 8.4% with BAV. Patients with BAV have a distinctive dissection pattern with the entry tear frequently located in the aortic root and despite their younger age are subject to substantial hospital mortality. For BAV patients, composite root replacement yields an outcome equal to an age- and gender-matched normal population. CD Etz et al., Eur J Cardio-Thoracic Surg 2015; 48:142

48 Screening for AAA: U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement The USPSTF recommends 1-time screening for AAA with ultrasonography in men aged 65 to 75 years who have ever smoked. (B recommendation) The USPSTF recommends that clinicians selectively offer screening for AAA in men aged 65 to 75 years who have never smoked (C recommendation) The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening for AAA in women aged 65 to 75 years who have ever smoked. (1 statement) The USPSTF recommends against routine screening for AAA in women who have never smoked. (D recommendation) ML LeFevre et al., Ann Intern Med 2014; 161:281

49 4) Growth Rate for Small AAA Meta-Analysis Small AAAs of 3.0 cm 5.4 cm in diameter are monitored by ultrasound surveillance. The intervals between surveillance scans should be chosen to detect an expanding aneurysm prior to rupture. Studies were identified for inclusion through a systematic literature search through December Study authors were contacted, which yielded 18 data sets providing repeated ultrasound measurements of AAA diameter over time in 15,471 patients. Predictions of the risk of exceeding 5.5-cm diameter and of rupture within given time intervals were estimated. Growth rates increased on average by 0.59 mm per year. In contrast to the commonly adopted surveillance intervals in current AAA screening programs, surveillance intervals of several years may be clinically acceptable for the majority of patients with small AAA.
