Inhibition of beta-myosin heavy chain gene expression in pressure overload rat heart by losartan and captopril. (1/563)

AIM: To study the effects of losartan and captopril on beta-myosin heavy chain (MHC), and alpha-MHC gene expression. METHODS: Pressure overload was produced by abdominal aortic coarctation (AAC) in rats. alpha- and beta-MHC mRNA were measured by Northern blot. RESULTS: In left ventricular myocardium of sham-operated rats, the alpha-MHC mRNA predominated, while the beta-MHC mRNA was only detectable. In response AAC, there was a 70-fold increase in the beta-MHC mRNA (P < 0.01), while alpha-MHC mRNA reduced to 26% (P < 0.01). Losartan (3 mg.kg-1.d-1, i.g. for 11 d) to AAC rats caused inhibitions of beta-MHC by 96% and alpha-MHC by 86% gene expression without lowering blood pressure. A reduction in beta-MHC mRNA was also seen in captopril-treated rats (30 mg.kg-1.d-1, i.g. for 11 d), but the inhibitory effect of captopril on alpha-MHC mRNA was less than that of losartan (44% vs 86%, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The shift of MHC isoform induced by pressure overload is due to up-regulation of beta-MHC and down-regulation of alpha-MHC gene expression. Inhibition of beta-MHC gene expression by losartan is achieved primarily by direct blockade of angiotensin II type I receptors in the myocardium, independent on hemodynamics.  (+info)

Biventricular repair approach in ducto-dependent neonates with hypoplastic but morphologically normal left ventricle. (2/563)

OBJECTIVES: Increased afterload and multilevel LV obstruction is constant. We assumed that restoration of normal loading conditions by relief of LV obstructions promotes its growth, provided that part of the cardiac output was preoperatively supported by the LV, whatever the echocardiographic indexes. BACKGROUND: Whether to perform uni- or biventricular repair in ducto dependent neonates with hypoplastic but morphologically normal LV (hypoplastic left heart syndrome classes II & III) remains unanswered. Echocardiographic criteria have been proposed for surgical decision. METHODS: Twenty ducto dependent neonates presented with this anomaly. All had aortic coarctation associated to multilevel LV obstruction. Preoperative echocardiographic assessment showed: mean EDLW of 12.4 +/- 3.03 ml/m2 and mean Rhodes score of -1.73 +/-0.8. Surgery consisted in relief of LV outflow tract obstruction by coarctation repair in all associated to aortic commissurotomy in one and ASD closure in 2. RESULTS: There were 3 early and 2 late deaths. Failure of biventricular repair and LV growth was obvious in patients with severe anatomic mitral stenosis. The other demonstrated growth of the left heart. At hospital discharge the EDLVV was 19.4+/-3.12 ml/m2 (p = 0.0001) and the Rhodes score was -0.38+/-1.01 (p = 0.0003). Actuarial survival and freedom from reoperation rates at 5 years were 72.5% and 46%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Biventricular repair can be proposed to ducto dependent neonates with hypoplastic but morphologically normal LV provided that all anatomical causes of LV obstruction can be relieved. Secondary growth of the left heart then occurs; however, the reoperation rate is high.  (+info)

A family study of coarctation of the aorta. (3/563)

Families of 100 patients with coarctation of the aorta and 50 controls for age, sex, and social status were studied to assess the influence of genetic and environmental variables in the aetiology. A tendency to familial aggregation of the condition and other congenital heart defects compatible with multifactorial inheritance was discerned. Recurrence risk for sibs is approximately 1 in 200 for coarctation of the aorta, and 1% for any form of congenital heart defect. The heritability of coarctation is estimated at 58%. The tendency for other non-cardiac defects to occur in the patients with coarctation does not appear in their sibs and is not so pronounced as in some other congenital heart conditions. Of the several environmental variables examined, there was no definitive association with any other than season of birth, which implies a possible association with maternal infection; there is also a suggestion of a paternal age effect, but these require investigation in a prospective survey.  (+info)

Long-term effects of balloon angioplasty on systemic hypertension in adolescent and adult patients with coarctation of the aorta. (4/563)

AIMS: To define the long-term effect of balloon angioplasty of aortic coarctation on hypertension, in adolescent and adult patients. METHODS: Balloon angioplasty of discrete, native aortic coarctation was performed on 50 patients (34 male) aged 23+/-8 (mean+/-standard deviation) years. In 42 of these patients cardiac catheterization and angiography were repeated 1 year later, and on the basis of sphygmomanometric blood pressure determination at that time, they were divided into 31 patients (group A) with normalized blood pressure and 11 patients (group B) who still needed antihypertensive medication. Both groups were followed annually thereafter for 12-123 (66+/-37) months. RESULTS: Coarctation gradient values before, immediately after and 1 year after angioplasty were 69+/-24 mmHg, 12+/-8 mmHg (P<0.001) and 7+/-6 mmHg. The corresponding systolic blood pressure values were 165+/-17 mmHg, 128+/-12 mmHg (P<0.001) and 115+/-10 mmHg (P<0.001) in group A; 182+/-21 mmHg, 141+/-24 mmHg (P<0.001) and 134+/-18 mmHg (P<0.001) in group B. Echocardiographic left ventricular mass index before angioplasty and at follow-up was 130+/-31 g x m-2 and 105+/-23 g x m-2 in group A; 157+/-38 g x m-2 and 132+/-35 g x m-2 in group B (P<0.001 for both comparisons). CONCLUSION: Normalization of blood pressure without medication occurred in 74% of patients after angioplasty for aortic coarctation, with subsequent long-term regression of left ventricular hypertrophy. In comparison to reported surgical results, balloon angioplasty should be considered as first line treatment for native, discrete aortic coarctation in adolescent and adult patients.  (+info)

Effects of aminopeptidase P inhibition on kinin-mediated vasodepressor responses. (5/563)

We studied in anesthetized rats whether aminopeptidase P (AMP) may be involved in bradykinin (BK) metabolism and responses. For this we inhibited AMP with the specific inhibitor apstatin (Aps). Studies were done with Aps alone or together with the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor lisinopril (Lis). Aps increased the vasodepressor response to an intravenous bolus of BK (400 ng/kg): vehicle, -3.0 +/- 0.7 mmHg; Aps, -7.8 +/- 0.7 mmHg (P < 0.01 vs. vehicle); Lis, -23.8 +/- 1.8 mmHg; Aps + Lis, -37.5 +/- 1.9 mmHg (P < 0.01 vs. Lis). Aps did not affect the vasodepressor response to BK given into the descending aorta. Plasma BK increased only in Aps + Lis-treated rats (in pg/ml): control, 48.0 +/- 1.4; Lis, 57.5 +/- 7.6; Aps + Lis, 121. 8 +/- 30.6 (P < 0.05 vs. control or Lis), whereas in rats infused with BK (400 ng. kg-1. min-1 for 5 min), Aps increased plasma BK (in pg/ml): control, 51.9 +/- 2.5; Aps, 83.5 +/- 20.5; Lis, 725 +/- 225; Aps + Lis, 1,668 +/- 318 (P < 0.05, Aps vs. control and Lis vs. Aps + Lis). In rats with aortic coarctation hypertension, the acute antihypertensive effects of Aps plus Lis were greater than Lis alone (P < 0.01). Hoe-140, a BK B2-receptor antagonist, abolished the difference. We concluded that in the rat AMP contributes to regulation of BK metabolism and responses.  (+info)

Critical pathways for postoperative care after simple congenital heart surgery. (6/563)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical, financial, and parent/patient satisfaction impact of critical pathways on the postoperative care of pediatric cardiothoracic patients with simple congenital heart lesions. STUDY DESIGN: Critical pathways were developed by pediatric intensive care nurses and implemented under the direction of pediatric cardiothoracic surgeons. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Critical pathways were used during a 12-month study on 46 postoperative patients with simple repair of atrial septal defect (ASD), coarctation of the aorta (CoA), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Using the study criteria, a control group of 58 patients was chosen from 1993. Prospective and control group data collected included postoperative intubation time, total laboratory tests, arterial blood gas utilization, morphine utilization, time in the pediatric intensive care unit, total hospital stay, total hospital charges, total hospital cost, and complications. Variances from the critical pathway and satisfaction data were also recorded for study patients. RESULTS: Resource utilization was reduced after implementation of critical pathways. Significant reductions were seen in total hours in the pediatric intensive care unit, total number of laboratory tests, postoperative intubation times, arterial blood gas utilization, morphine utilization, length of hospitalization (ASD, 4.9 to 3.1 days; CoA, 5.2 to 3.2 days; and PDA, 4.1 to 1.4 days; all P < 0.05), total hospital charges (ASD, $16,633 to $13,627; CoA, $14,292 to $8319; and PDA, $8249 to $4216; all P < 0.05), and total hospital costs. There was no increase in respiratory complications or other complications. Patients and families were generally satisfied with their hospital experience, including analgesia and length of hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS: Implementation of critical pathways reduced resource utilization and costs after repair of three simple congenital heart lesions, without obvious complications or patient dissatisfaction.  (+info)

Stent implantation in an adult with coarctation of the aorta in the presence of advanced secondary heart failure. (7/563)

We report the case of a 56-year-old woman with congenital coarctation of the aorta, who presented in critical clinical condition with advanced secondary cardiomyopathy and heart failure. We successfully applied an unusual technique to pass the aortic obstruction, and then implanted a PALMAZ stent. The procedure resulted in prompt clinical improvement and completely resolved the coarctation. The patient's improved clinical condition was still evident 11 months after the procedure.  (+info)

Cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition decreases renin content and lowers blood pressure in a model of renovascular hypertension. (8/563)

It has been proposed that the macula densa participates in the regulation of increased renin expression in renovascular hypertension (RVH) and that prostaglandins may be among the mediators of macula densa function. We have previously shown that in renal cortex, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression is localized to the macula densa and surrounding cortical thick ascending limb and increases in high-renin states, such as salt restriction and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition. In the present studies, we examined the effect of the selective COX-2 inhibitor SC58236 on plasma renin activity (PRA) and renal renin expression in RVH in rats. The aorta was coarcted between right and left renal arteries, and animals received either SC58236 or vehicle for 1 week. At day 8, vehicle-treated coarcted rats were hypertensive (mean carotid arterial blood pressure: 138+/-3 versus 87+/-2 mm Hg in sham-operated controls; n=9 to 11; P<0.001) and exhibited a disparity of kidney size (ratio left/right kidney: 0.78+/-0.04 versus 1.02+/-0.02; n=9 to 10; P<0.001). PRA increased significantly (84.6+/-6.5 versus 9.0+/-1.4 ng angiotensin I [Ang I] per milliliter per hour; n=8 to 9; P<0.01). In the coarcted rats, neither renin mRNA expression nor renin activity of the right kidney was altered (renin/GAPDH mRNA: 1.12+/-0.05-fold levels in control rats; n=6; P=NS; renin activity: 23.4+/-1.8 versus 27.1+/-3.4 ng Ang I per hour per milligram protein; n=8 to 9; P=NS). However, the renin mRNA of the left kidney increased to 3.0+/-0.6-fold of control (n=6), and the renin activity increased to 189.0+/-28.6 ng Ang I per hour per milligram protein (n=8; P<0.01). Expression of COX-2 mRNA and immunoreactive protein increased in the affected left kidney but was not different from control in the unaffected right kidney. SC58236 treatment to coarcted rats did not affect kidney size (ratio left/right kidney: 0.79+/-0.06; n=9). However, PRA was significantly decreased compared with the vehicle-treated coarcted rats (19.8+/-2. 8 ng Ang I per milliliter per hour; n=9; P<0.01). The left kidney renin mRNA and renin content were also decreased (1.7+/-0.3-fold control; n=6; P<0.05; and 45.7+/-7.6 ng Ang I per hour per milligram protein; n=9; P<0.01, respectively), while renin mRNA and renin content of the right kidney were not altered. SC58236 lowered mean arterial blood pressure (122+/-5 mm Hg; n=14; P<0.05 compared with vehicle). A significant correlation was observed between PRA and mean blood pressure (r=0.75; P<0.01). In summary, these studies indicate that the selective COX-2 inhibitor SC58236 decreases renin production and release in RVH and suggest an important role for COX-2 regulation of the renin-angiotensin system.  (+info)

Two stage hybrid approach for complex aortic coarctation repair | Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery | Full TextTwo stage hybrid approach for complex aortic coarctation repair | Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery | Full Text
Management of an adult patient with aortic coarctation and an associated cardiac pathology poses a great surgical challenge since there are no standard guidelines for the therapy of such complex pathology. Debate exists not only on which lesion should be corrected first, but also upon the type and timing of the procedure. Surgery can be one- or two-staged. Both of these strategies are accomplice with elevate morbidity and mortality. In the face of such an extended surgical approach, balloon dilatation seems preferable for treatment of severe aortic coarctation. We present an adult male patient with aortic coarctation combined with ascending aorta aneurysm and concomitant aortic valve regurgitation. The aortic coarctation was corrected first, using percutaneous balloon dilatation; and in a second stage the aortic regurgitation and ascending aorta aneurysm was treated by Bentall procedure. The patients postoperative period was uneventful. Three years after the operation he continues to do well.

Figure 1: Enlarged MRA Pre and post stenting of coarctation. Perspective: Coarctation of the aorta is a relatively common defect that occurs in approximately 6-8 % of patients with congenital heart disease and is commonly associated with a bicuspid aortic valve. Intravascular stents are finding increased applications in the treatment of patients with native coarctation of the aorta and percutaneous intervention is a reasonable alternative to surgical correction. 4D flow MR imaging has shown promise in the evaluation of both the clinical significance of the coarctation through the demonstration of collateral blood flow and the persistence of helical flow after coarctation repair ...

Double orifice mitral valve is a rare congenital anomaly presenting as the division of the mitral orifice into two anatomically distinct orifices, it is most often associated with other congenital heart defects such as left-sided obstructive lesions, ventricular septal defects or aortic coarctation. We report the case of a 15 years old boy, admitted for arterial hypertension, auscultation revealed a rude aortic systolic murmur. Femoral pulses were weak. Owing to the suspicion of aortic coarctation, transthoracic echocardiography was performed, the aortic coarctation with dilation of the aorta proximal to the stenosis was confirmed and bicuspid aortic valve was found with good function. The mitral valve was dysmorphic, having two orifices; it was divided into 2 separate valve orifices by a fibrous bridge. No mitral or aortic regurgitation was documented by color Doppler flow imaging. The left ventricular ejection fraction was normal. There was a small peri membranous ventricular septal defect with left

Long term follow up of patients with repaired aortic coarctations | HeartLong term follow up of patients with repaired aortic coarctations | Heart
Patients with repaired coarctations have a high risk of further complications and a significantly reduced life expectancy. Long term specialist follow up of patients with repaired aortic coarctation allows early detection and treatment of complications including hypertension, recoarctation, repair site aneurysms, and aortic root problems, often before they are symptomatic, and allows catastrophic events to be prevented.2,4,5 Ongoing specialist management of female patients also allows careful planning and monitoring of pregnancy from the pre-conception stage to delivery.. This study shows that a significant number of patients with previous coarctation repair are not under active follow up and only return to specialist care fortuitously or when problems arise. There are likely to be many more such patients, unrecognised in the community. Patients with repaired coarctation are still being discharged from adult cardiology clinics. Such patients may only return to specialised care with catastrophic ...

PY - 2018/10/1. Y1 - 2018/10/1. N2 - A 13-year-old girl, who had undergone interrupted aortic arch repair with an 8-mm graft as a neonate and Fontan completion in childhood, developed ventricular fibrillation due to long-QT syndrome. Cardioverter defibrillator implantation was planned. Preoperative catheterization showed a 45-mmHg aortic pressure gradient and ventricular end-diastolic pressure of 11 mmHg. This indicated that recurrent coarctation had adversely affected ventricular function. After consideration of the patients age, symptoms and anatomical/surgical complexities, axillo-iliac bypass with cardioverter defibrillator implantation was performed. Postoperative ventricular end-diastolic pressure was 6 mmHg. Axillo-iliac bypass is a surgical option for coarctation that can reduce cardiac ...

Influence of Aortic Coarctation on Pulsatile Hemodynamics in the Proximal Aorta | CirculationInfluence of Aortic Coarctation on Pulsatile Hemodynamics in the Proximal Aorta | Circulation
Pressure and flow were recorded in the ascending aorta of three dogs with aortic coarctation, induced surgically 3 months previously, and in three control litter mates. From these data were derived input impedance of the systemic circulation, pulsatile and steady components of external heart work, aortic systolic pressure-time index, and mean systolic and mean diastolic pressures. Results were correlated with intraoperative measurements of aortic pressure in three young patients with aortic coarctation and with records taken in another 24 patients during diagnostic catheterization. Distinctive changes in aortic impedance with coarctation were explained in terms of altered peripheral reflection. Such changes were responsible for characteristic alteration in central aortic pressure pulse contour and for change in other parameters, indicating impaired arterial function in accepting pulsatile flow from the heart. Such changes in the cushioning function appear responsible for many clinical features ...

Pronounced arch obstruction can be seen after a well-repaired coarctation, and this probably results from the failure of a somewhat hypoplastic arch to grow or from clamp injury at the time of the initial repair, or from both causes. Because of mediastinal adhesions and minimal collateral circulation, use of extraanatomic bypass grafts appears to be the preferred approach. Methods. Six children or young adults presented with arch obstruction over a 3-year period. Their mean age was 13.5 ± 4 years, and the mean interval from the time of the initial repair was 10 ± 4 years. The mean age of the patients at the time of the initial repair was 3.2 ± 5 years. ...

Endothelial function in contemporary patients with repaired coarctation of aorta | HeartEndothelial function in contemporary patients with repaired coarctation of aorta | Heart
Arterial hypertension remains a common problem after coarctation repair, and is a major concern in the long-term outcome of these patients. The pathophysiology of hypertension after successful surgical treatment of aortic coarctation, and in the absence of re-coarctation is still poorly understood. It has been suggested that coarctation of the aorta could represent a primary or secondary systemic vasculopathy rather than an isolated local disease of the aortic isthmus. These changes are thought to be involved in the development of hypertension in the absence of re-coarctation as well as premature cardiovascular events.. A number of observational studies in patients after coarctation repair have proposed endothelial dysfunction as measured by FMD, or a decreased reactivity to nitric oxide of the arterial wall as a key player in this respect.3 ,19-22 Impairment of FMD in these patients has been described with20 and without evidence of increased blood pressures.3 This has lead to the hypothesis ...

Coarctation of the aorta - WikipediaCoarctation of the aorta - Wikipedia
Coarctation of the aorta (CoA or CoAo), also called aortic narrowing, is a congenital condition whereby the aorta is narrow, usually in the area where the ductus arteriosus (ligamentum arteriosum after regression) inserts. The word coarctation means narrowing. Coarctations are most common in the aortic arch. The arch may be small in babies with coarctations. Other heart defects may also occur when coarctation is present, typically occurring on the left side of the heart. When a patient has a coarctation, the left ventricle has to work harder. Since the aorta is narrowed, the left ventricle must generate a much higher pressure than normal in order to force enough blood through the aorta to deliver blood to the lower part of the body. If the narrowing is severe enough, the left ventricle may not be strong enough to push blood through the coarctation, thus resulting in lack of blood to the lower half of the body. Physiologically its complete form is manifested as interrupted aortic arch.[citation ...

Aortic coarctation: guidelines mismatch across the ocean | Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery | Full TextAortic coarctation: guidelines mismatch across the ocean | Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery | Full Text
Pseudocoarctation is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by aorta elongation and kinking, without significant obstruction. We report the case of an elderly patient with history of congestive heart failure (CHF) and aortic regurgitation (AR) who was referred for progressive exertional dyspnoea. After multimodal imaging evaluation, aortic coarctation with significant trans-stenosis gradient but mild luminal narrowing was diagnosed; this borderline patient was not addressed to repair, according to ESC guidelines and in spite of AHA ones. He rather met the criteria for pseudocoarctation diagnosis. An integration of functional and anatomical data is essential for a reliable diagnostic process in similar cases.

PURPOSE: To show that 4D Flow is a clinically viable tool for evaluation of collateral blood flow and demonstration of distorted blood flow patterns in patients with treated and untreated aortic coarctation.. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Time-resolved, 3D phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (4D Flow) was used to assess blood flow in the thoracic aorta of 34 individuals: 26 patients with coarctation (22 after surgery or stent placement) and eight healthy volunteers.. RESULTS: Direct comparison of blood flow calculated with 2D and 4D phase contrast data at standard levels for analysis in coarctation patients showed good correlation and agreement (correlation coefficient r = 0.99, limits of agreement = -20% to 20% for collateral blood flow calculations). Abnormal blood flow patterns were demonstrated at peak systole with 4D Flow visualization techniques in the descending thoracic aorta of patients but not volunteers. Marked helical flow was seen in 9 of 13 patients with angulated aortic arch ...

The long-term outlook for children who have had their coarctation repaired, either with surgery or angioplasty, is excellent. Children who have successful repair of coarctation usually can live full and productive lives. Women usually can become pregnant safely. However, medical problems can occur after repair.. Recoarctation. Recoarctation is the redevelopment of a narrowing in the aorta. This problem occurs more commonly in children who have had their coarctation repaired during the first year of life. Recoarctation occurs in approximately 10% to 20% of children who have had their repair in infancy, and in less than 3% of children who have had their repair after 3 years of age. Treatment of recoarctation of the aorta usually is with a balloon angioplasty.. High blood pressure. High blood pressure is one of the most common medical problems seen in patients after successful repair of coarctation. Approximately 60% of people who have had their coarctation repaired will require medication to treat ...

Children beyond infancy are usually asymptomatic and are most often diagnosed because of a murmur or hypertension on a routine examination[1]. Delayed or absent femoral pulses and an arm/leg systolic blood pressure difference of 20 mm Hg or more in favor of the arms may be considered as evidence for aortic coarctation[3].. The coarctation can be demonstrated on suprasternal notch two-dimensional echocardiographic views along with increased Doppler flow velocity across the coarctation site[1]. Cardiac catheterization reveals significant systolic pressure gradient (, 20 mm Hg) across the coarctation and angiography demonstrates the degree and type of aortic narrowing[3].. Surgical relief of coarctation may be achieved by resection and end-to-end anastomosis or by subclavian flap or prosthetic path angioplasty[1]. Elective repair of isolated aortic coarctation is nowadays indicated at 3-6 months of life or at the time of diagnosis[2]. Complications, such as recoarctation or secondary hypertension, ...

Percutaneous Endovascular Repair of Aneurysm After Previous Coarctation Surgery | CirculationPercutaneous Endovascular Repair of Aneurysm After Previous Coarctation Surgery | Circulation
To the Editor:. Using percutaneous catheter techniques and endovascular grafts, Ince et al1 reported successful treatment of aneurysms occurring after previous repair of aortic coarctation with no mortality and minimal morbidity in 6 patients. They contrasted these results with those reported for similar patients with open surgical treatment, in whom the mortality rates ranged between 14% and 23.5%. The 3 references reporting these outcomes were published between 1989 and 1996.. Any comparison of these 2 methods of treatment for recurrent aneurysm after coarctation repair should include contemporary reports that use modern surgical techniques. Two recent studies using the technique of full cardiopulmonary bypass and circulatory arrest in 9 patients with complications following surgical repair of aortic coarctation (including 7 patients with aneurysms or pseudoaneurysms) reported no early deaths and few major complications.2,3. Although minimally invasive endovascular techniques offer important ...

Three Different Imaging Modalities of a Patient with the Aortic CoarctationThree Different Imaging Modalities of a Patient with the Aortic Coarctation
The patient was a 19 year-old woman with the diagnosis of resistant hypertension, although she was under treatment of three classes of anti-hypertensive drugs (beta blocker, angiotensin receptor blocker, diuretic) for more than one year. In physical examination there was only a significant difference between the systolic blood pressure of upper and lower extremities (200 vs. 120 mmHg), without any other remarkable finding. Three different imaging modalities (echocardiography (Figure 1), CT angiography (Figure 2), conventional aortography (Figure 3) confirmed the aortic coarctation at 30 mm after left subclavian artery origin, with the 3.5-4 mm diameter of the narrowest segment. She underwent implantation of a self-expanding aortic stent and therefore the systolic pressure gradient decreased from 90 to 15 mmHg. After three months, her blood pressure was stable on 110/80 mmHg, while she received only metoprolol 25 mg twice daily and follow-up echocardiography showed 15-20 mmHg pressure gradient through

Background. Dacron patch aortoplasty repair of coaretation of the aorta carries an inherent risk of aneurysm development. Sudden death from aortic rupture prompted discontinuing this operation and evaluating 39 patients (16 girls; mean age 6.3 years, range 10 days to 14.5 years) undergoing repair between January 1976 and October 1987. The aorta ruptured in 10 patients; 6 died at a mean interval of 8.1 years (range 0.75 to 12.4) after repair. All 33 survivors were interviewed and examined. ...

Surgical strategy and approach are important in patients with aortic coarctation associated with intracardiac anomalies. In this study, surgical technique, indications and results of the single stage repair of aortic coarctation and intracardiac defects via median sternotomy were discussed. Between January 1987 and August 2002, 158 patients with aortic coarctation or interrupted aortic arch (IAA) underwent surgery. In 17 of them who had associated intracardiac anomalies, single stage approach via median sternotomy were performed. Their ages ranged from 1 month to 13 years (mean 2.2 3.3 years). Ventricular septal defect (VSD) and aortic stenosis were the most common associated lesions. Aortic coarctation was repaired under cardiopulmonary bypass initially and then intracardiac repair was performed. A short period of total circulatory arrest was necessary in two patients with IAA and one patient with extensive arcus hypoplasia. Among the patients who underwent single stage repair of aortic ...

It is well documented that in patients with coarctation of the aorta life expectancy is not normal even after successful coarctation repair (SCR), primarily due to cardiovascular events. We examined endothelial function in the forearm circulation, the mechanical properties and intima/media thickness in carotid and femoral arteries and the inflammatory process in normotensive patients, after coarctation repair. Fifteen patients, 29+/-2 years old, 12+/-2.9 years after SCR and 16 age- and sex-matched controls were enrolled in our study. Forearm blood flow was determined by gauge-strain plethysmography. Forearm vasodilatory response to reactive hyperemia was expressed as the %change from baseline to post-reactive hyperemia blood flow. High resolution ultrasound was used for determination of intima/media thickness and elastic properties of carotid and femoral arteries.

Subtypes of bicuspid aortic valves in coarctation of the aortaSubtypes of bicuspid aortic valves in coarctation of the aorta
Bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs) represent a wide morphologic and functional spectrum. In coarctation of the aorta, BAVs are common, but the proportion of BAV subtypes and their relation to aortic dimensions and development of late valve dysfunction are unknown. Sixty-two cardiovascular magnetic resonance investigations of patients with coarctation of the aorta were reviewed with respect to aortic valve morphology, aortic valve function, and aortic dimensions. BAVs were identified in 45 patients (72.6 %), of which 13 (20.9 %) were type-0 (two commissures), 28 (45.1 %) type-1 (three commissures but fusion of one commissure with a raphe) and 4 (6.5 %) valves were bicuspid but not possible to classify further. Patients with BAVs type-0 had larger dimensions in their sinus of Valsalva (35.5 ± 6.8 vs. 29.7 ± 2.7 mm, p = 0.002), ascending aorta (33.1 ± 6.2 vs. 26.0 ± 4.3 mm, p = 0.005) and sino-tubular junction (29.3 ± 7.4 vs. 24.2 ± 3.5 mm, p = 0.040) compared with tricuspid aortic valves (TAVs). ...

FDA Approves Covered Stent For Treatment of Aortic Wall Injury - American College of CardiologyFDA Approves Covered Stent For Treatment of Aortic Wall Injury - American College of Cardiology
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved the NuMED Cheatham Platinum (CP) Stent System for the prevention and/or treatment of aortic wall injury (AWI) in patients with coarctation of the aorta involving a compliant aortic isthmus or first segment of the descending aorta where there is adequate size and patency of at least one femoral artery and balloon angioplasty is contraindicated or predicted to be ineffective.. Stent therapy for coarctation of the aorta offers a non-surgical alternative to traditional operative repair of the aortic obstruction with similar results and complication rates. Stent treatment also has a lower rate of recurrence and aortic wall injury compared to balloon dilation alone.. Covered stent therapy provides similar outcomes and allows for simultaneous treatment of aortic wall injuries, such as aneurysm and pseudo-aneurysm that might be present, related to previous surgical or catheter based therapy of the coarctation. In the COAST II clinical trial, ...

Morphometric evidence for non-pressure-related arterial wall thickening in hypertension. | Circulation ResearchMorphometric evidence for non-pressure-related arterial wall thickening in hypertension. | Circulation Research
To investigate the relation of pressure and vascular wall thickening in hypertension, we coarcted the abdominal aorta upstream to the renal arteries in 14 rats. Sham-coarcted (n = 16) and two-kidney, one-clip (Goldblatt) hypertensive rats (n = 13) served as controls. Tail, femoral, and carotid arterial pressures rose (p less than 0.01) in the two-kidney, one-clip hypertensives; only carotid pressure rose (p less than 0.01) in the coarcted rats, tail and femoral pressures remaining normal (p greater than 0.25). Thus, the hindquarters of the coarcted rats remained normotensive. Four to six weeks after surgery we perfusion-fixed vascular tissues of the hindquarters, including kidneys, with formalin at in vivo levels of pressure. Glycol methacrylate-embedded tissues were sectioned at 1 micron thickness and vessels quantitatively evaluated. The outer medial and lumen perimeters of abdominal aorta, femoral artery, and renal arterioles were measured; from these measurements, vessel outer and lumen ...

Effects of aortic irregularities on blood flowEffects of aortic irregularities on blood flow
Anatomic aortic anomalies are seen in many medical conditions and are known to cause disturbances in blood flow. Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic disorder occurring only in females where cardiovascular anomalies, particularly of the aorta, are frequently encountered. In this study, numerical simulations are applied to investigate the flow characteristics in four TS patient- related aortic arches (a normal geometry, dilatation, coarctation and elongation of the transverse aorta). The Quemada viscosity model was applied to account for the non-Newtonian behavior of blood. The blood is treated as a mixture consisting of water and red blood cells (RBC) where the RBCs are modeled as a convected scalar. The results show clear geometry effects where the flow structures and RBC distribution are significantly different between the aortas. Transitional flow is observed as a jet is formed due to a constriction in the descending aorta for the coarctation case. RBC dilution is found to vary between the ...

A Few Simple Questions Regarding Abiogenesis/Darwinian Evolution | The Rational Response SquadA Few Simple Questions Regarding Abiogenesis/Darwinian Evolution | The Rational Response Squad
On what basis do you make the claim that DNA has mistakes galore, miscopies, additional sequences not found in the original, entire pieces cut out, crossovers, and yet, the organism still lives, still REPRODUCES AND HAS VIABLE OFFSPRING? You obviously know nothing about benefits. My youngest daughter was born 2 years ago. We had no indication of any problems throughout the duration of the pregnancy. 30 minutes after she was delivered, she was taken to the nursury. My wife and I were notified minutes later that she was on an ambulance being rushed to a heart specialist. We soon found out she has Turner Syndrome; she is missing a chromosome. We spent 2 weeks in the NICU unit, sleeping in the waiting room after she underwent a balloon procedure to reduce the pressure gradient at her aortic valve. The valve is bicuspid, and a coarctation of her aorta was also compounding the problem. After letting her go home for a month, we then spent another month in ICU after she underwent open heart surgury. ...

The diagnostics of congenital heart disease, and especially the need for frequent lifelong postoperative follow-up examinations, require an imaging modality as gentle and reliable as possible. The method commonly used for this purpose ? echocardiography - is associated with some disadvantages, especially in older patients with an insufficient acoustic window. For these patients magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an alternative imaging modality. The aim of this study was to evaluate two functional MR methods, flow measurement with a flow phantom and ventricular function analysis in comparison to 3D echocardiography. These methods were performed in 6 different groups of patients with uncorrected or surgically corrected congenital heart diseases. 1. Beside a good correlation between the estimated pressure gradients in the area of stenoses and re-stenoses in patients with coarctation with the aid of MR flow measurements, three-dimensional reconstruction from MR angiography (MRA) data supplies ...

My Lens On Life: January 2013My Lens On Life: January 2013
Our son, Tyson Hugh Hooper, was born with coarctation of the aorta, hypoplastic arch, and a transitional avsd. His first open heart surgery reconstructed his aorta and was on day 9 of life. His second open heart repair was not anticipated to be needed until two or three years of age. Ty had other plans. We spent the vast majority of his first 3 months of life at Vanderbilt as he went into heart failure and was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. As a result, the medical team concluded that he needed the repair much sooner than usually recommended, and at just shy of 3 months old Ty underwent his second life saving open heart surgery. God has already worked so many miracles in Tys life and the life of our family and we know he is using our story.
