Barts 900 AD Patients day continued with Prof John Elefteriades’s recorded demonstration of aortic aneurysm operation.. with Rolling Stone’s music! ⁦John A. Elefteriades⁩ ⁦Aortic Dissection Awareness UK & Ireland⁩ ⁦Barts Aortic Surgery⁩

What a fantastic day seeing previous dissection patients networking and learning to understand their disease as part of the #Barts900 anniversary celebrations. Proud to be part of an inspiring team Aung Oo Tara Mastracci John A. Elefteriades Gareth Owens Barts Aortic Surgery #TIAGD

Alex Felix I agree with you on this. For patients who are overweight or obese (or for anyone else really), you may choose to index the aorta to height instead, as shown by Mohammad A. Zafar, MD et al. jtcvs.org/article/S0022-…

Perez et al find aortic diameter at the time of type A dissection is consistent with the new guidelines that recommend surgical intervention at 5.0 cm. Type B dissection occurs at small sizes and cannot be prevented with a size criterion. Read more: doi.org/10.1016/j.atho…

1/2🌟New pub alert!🌟 When you see a pt with #TAA, is age the first thing u note? In this study, we found that what is truly relevant for predicting TAA growth is not chronological age, but rather ARTERIAL age. Because the aorta is #NotJustAPipe ! bit.ly/3KHWszt #AortaEd

So happy to finally see this paper out! A true collaborative effort led by Dani Crousillat , with full participation from all authors to create a succinct and informative document about one of my fave topics! jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

Great discussion on thoracic aortopathy at #ESC2023 with a focus on novel parameters - genetic disorders - and surgical approaches.

This is one of the longest follow-ups of patients with Marfan syndrome who underwent valve-sparing root replacement at Peter Munk Cardiac Centre University Health Network UHN Sprott Department of Surgery University of Toronto We found low rates of reoperation (7.5% at 20 yrs) but an ongoing risk of late distal aortic dissections (20% at 20yrs

Important data on post-repair outcomes in #MarfanSyndrome from Maral Ouzounian and colleagues. Must investigate what protects against late dissections in MFS. TheMarfanFoundation @judbacke @ShaineMorris1 @ShereneShalhub Ali Naderi Mohammad A. Zafar, MD @MarkELindsay

Dr. Zafar et al. with John A. Elefteriades at The Yale Aortic Institute, Yale School of Medicine, published a paper with the YJBM for our newest issue on Big Data. Read about their clinical discoveries at the Aortic Institute here: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Should we start thinking of the aorta as an organ? Dr. Christoph Nienaber summarizes aortic guideline iterations over the years ➡️ algorithms to diagnose and manage acute aortic syndrome. "European & American guidelines agree: multidisciplinary aortic teams!" #EACTS2023

💡The aorta needs to be seen and addressed as an “organ”. Deep discussion about the upcoming EACTS/STS/AATS guidelines on aortic disease at #EACTS2023 📣Focus on family history and genetic factors. Size indexing of utmost importance. EACTS The Society of Thoracic Surgeons AATS

Women have a comparable incidence of AAD as men, but have higher prehospital mortality. A higher proportion of women w/ OHCA had AAD than men w/ OHCA, w/ the highest proportion in women aged 60 to 69 years, at 16.4%. bit.ly/3rHW7Xp #JACCAdvances #CardioTwitter
