Long-term Use of Preoperative Beta-Blockers Is Associated With Reduced Postoperative Stroke After Thoracic Endovascular Aneurysm Repair
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been established as the treatment of choice for a range of thoracic aortic pathologies. Beta-blockers represent a possible perioperative treatment option to improve TEVAR outcomes due to their role in management of aortic aneurysm, dissection, and Marfan syndrome. We investigated the effect of preoperative beta-blocker usage on outcomes of TEVAR using the Vascular Quality Initiative database.

Pre-sewn Multi-branched Aortic Graft and 3D-Printing Guidance for Crawford Extent II or III Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair
Semin Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2021 May 7:S1043-0679(21)00194-5. doi: 10.1053/j.semtcvs.2021.03.046. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTReconstruction of the visceral and segmental arteries is a challenging part of open surgical repair of extensive thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA). For more efficient reconstruction of these branching vessels, a technique of using pre-hand-sewn multi-branched aortic graft (octopod technique) has been adopted with the aid of 3D-printing-guidance in latest cases. The octopod graft has been employed for the extent II or III TAAA repair, in which the commercially available two 4-branched aorti...

How Common are Aortic Aneurysms?
Discussion Aortic root dilatation or thoracic aortic aneurysm occurs in 6:100,000 individuals > 50 years of age. It is due to aging, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and smoking. Tertiary syphilis was a cause in the preantibiotic era. Pediatric aneurysms are very uncommon but the exact prevalence is different due to the various causes. Aneurysms are due to genetic disorders, congenital anomalies or post-surgical repair. In pediatric patients with sudden cardiac deaths, 5.4% are due to ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysms. Learning Point Some causes of pediatric aneurysms include: Familial thoracic aneurysm and dissect...

Optimising Aortic Endovascular Repair in Patients with Marfan Syndrome.
CONCLUSION: The specific protocol described in this study seems to optimise the results of endovascular aortic repair in MFS patients with significant aortic remodelling. PMID: 31865029 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Results of Open Surgical Repair in Patients With Marfan Syndrome and Distal Aortic Dissection
Conclusions In these patients with MFS with aortic dissection, open TAAA repair incurred reasonable operative risk, but improvements are needed to reduce rates of renal failure. Extent II TAAA repair does not appear to increase operative risk in patients with MFS.

One-stage repair of extensive aortic aneurysms: mid-term results with total or subtotal aortic replacement
CONCLUSIONS One-stage repair of extensive aortic aneurysms with total or subtotal aortic replacement is safe and effective. It is feasible with acceptable surgical risks and satisfactory results. It can eliminate the risk of remnant aortic aneurysm rupture in staged total aortic replacement and has satisfactory mid-term results.
