Summary: In summary, recommendations for managing patients with TBAD are continuously evolving and accumulating as new information and evidence emerge. The STS/AATS writing group has conducted a comprehensive review and provided evidence-based treatment recommendations. However, expert consensus is needed in areas where clinical trials are lacking to guide patient management.

Outcomes of Open Versus Endovascular Repair of Descending Thoracic and Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Michael Z. Tong et al.

Summary: This study compares the short and intermediate-term outcomes of open repair and endovascular repair for descending thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. The results show that open repair achieves similar in-hospital mortality and occurrence of paralysis and stroke compared to endovascular repair, but has better 10-year survival and lower aortic reintervention rate.

Summary: Ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (ATAA) is an asymptomatic condition with potential catastrophic events if left untreated. This study compares outcomes of early elective ascending aortic surgery and medical surveillance in patients with ATAA diameters between 5.0 cm and 5.4 cm. The primary outcome is all-cause mortality during follow-up, with a sample size of 618 subjects to achieve statistical power.

Intracranial aneurysm and coarctation of the aorta: prevalence in the current era

Lauren Andrade et al.

Summary: The study of 102 patients with coarctation of the aorta found no intracranial aneurysms detected after brain imaging, suggesting a lower prevalence than previously reported. Larger studies should investigate the risk of intracranial aneurysms in current era coarctation of the aorta patients.
