Cardiovascular Management of Aortopathy in Children: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Circulation

AUGUST 12, 2024

Aortopathy encompasses a spectrum of conditions predisposing to dilation, aneurysm, dissection, or rupture of the aorta and other blood vessels. Pathogeneses include connective tissue disorders, smooth muscle contraction disorders, and congenital heart disease, including bicuspid aortic valve, among others.

Mitral valve leaflets seen in open position between the left ventricle and left atrium are thickened. The large aortic regurgitation jet can be seen as a mosaic jet in the left ventricular outflow tract anterior to the anterior mitral leaflet. A portion of the thickened aortic valve can be seen between the aorta and left ventricle.

MARCH 29, 2024

Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR): AVR is a minimally invasive procedure in which the surgeon makes a small incision and allows the heart to continue to beat during the entire procedure. During a TAVR, the surgeon collapses an artificial aortic valve and inserts it through a catheter in the chest or leg.

By these mechanisms, SMC-MR promotes disease progression in models of aging-associated vascular stiffness, vascular calcification, mitral and aortic valve disease, pulmonary hypertension, and heart failure. While rarely tested, when sexes were compared, the mechanisms of SMC-MR-mediated disease were sexually dimorphic.
