Resolvin D2 prevents vascular remodeling, hypercontractility and endothelial dysfunction in obese hypertensive mice through modulation of vascular and proinflammatory factors
Biomed Pharmacother. 2024 Apr 11;174:116564. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116564. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDuring resolution of inflammation, specialized proresolving mediators (SPMs), including resolvins, are produced to restore tissue homeostasis. We hypothesized that there might be a dysregulation of SPMs pathways in pathological vascular remodeling and that resolvin D2 (RvD2) might prevent vascular remodeling and contractile and endothelial dysfunction in a model of obesity and hypertension. In aortic samples of patients with or without abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), we evaluated gene expression of enzymes involv...

Mid-term results of "off-label" use of the Endurant stentgraft in patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms
CONCLUSION: In this study, real-life experience with the Endurant II and IIS stentgraft is described. Non-adherence with instructions for use was associated with a higher risk of endoleak type IA (p = .06). In the early postoperative period, there were more patients with limb occlusion; this finding was not observed anymore at the end of the follow-up period.PMID:38606774 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241247265 (Source: Vascular)

The Association Between Frailty and Outcomes Following Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair
Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is a less invasive method than the more physiologically stressful open surgical repair (OSR) for patients with anatomically appropriate abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Early postoperative outcomes are associated with both patients ’ physiologic reserve and the physiologic stresses of the surgical intervention. Among frail patients with reduced physiologic reserve, the stress of an aortic rupture in combination with the stress of an operative repair are less well tolerated, raising the risk of complications and mortality.

Utility of Motor Evoked Potentials in Contemporary Open Thoracoabdominal Aortic Repair
Paraplegia remains one of the major complications of contemporary open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair. Intraoperative motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) act as a surrogate measure for spinal cord homeostasis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of intraoperative neuromonitoring in contemporary TAAA repair and its association with postoperative spinal cord ischemia.

Creation of a shared medical decision support tool for the management of abdominal aortic aneurysms
Patients with an unruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) at the surgical threshold may benefit from aneurysmal exclusion either by open surgery or endovascular repair. A patient decision aid (PtDA) could be useful to help patients and their surgeons choose between the two techniques. The aim of this study was to develop a shared medical decision support tool, in french language, for the surgical treatment of AAA. (Source: Annals of Vascular Surgery)

Analysis of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells from Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms Reveals DNA Damage and Cell Cycle Arrest as Hallmarks in Bicuspid Aortic Valve Patients
J Proteome Res. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.1021/acs.jproteome.3c00649. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is mainly sporadic and with higher incidence in the presence of a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) for unknown reasons. The lack of drug therapy to delay TAA progression lies in the limited knowledge of pathophysiology. We aimed to identify the molecular hallmarks that differentiate the aortic dilatation associated with BAV and tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). Aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) isolated from sporadic TAA patients with BAV or TAV were analyzed by mass spectrometry. DNA oxidative dama...

LncRNA CARMN inhibits abdominal aortic aneurysm formation and vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic transformation by interacting with SRF
Cell Mol Life Sci. 2024 Apr 10;81(1):175. doi: 10.1007/s00018-024-05193-4.ABSTRACTPhenotypic transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plays a crucial role in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation. CARMN, a highly conserved, VSMC-enriched long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), is integral in orchestrating various vascular pathologies by modulating the phenotypic dynamics of VSMCs. The influence of CARMN on AAA formation, particularly its mechanisms, remains enigmatic. Our research, employing single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing, has uncovered a significant suppression of CARMN in AAA specimens, which correlates stron...
