Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The natural history of penetrating aortic ulcer (PAU) has been variably described and clear guidelines are lacking. We reviewed our experience with PAUs in a tertiary referral center. METHODS:Imaging reports from January 2010 to December 2017 were retrospectively searched for the diagnosis of "penetrating aortic ulcer." Diagnosis was confirmed by review of imaging studies. Patient demographics, presenting symptoms, and anatomic characteristics were collected and analyzed for associations with need for surgical intervention, aortic complication, and overall survival. RESULTS:One hundred six patients with PAU were identified. Locations included 57 (53.8%) aortic arch, 24 (22.6%) descending thoracic, and 25 (23.5%) abdominal aorta. Dissection was present in 12 (11.4%) and acute rupture in 4 (3.8%) cases. At presentation, 57 (53.8%) patients were symptomatic. Forty-six (43.8%) patients were evaluated by cardiothoracic or vascular surgeons. Thirteen (12.3%) underwent surgical or endovascular repair and 10 (10.4%) had a change in medical management. Long-term follow-up (LTFU) was available in 30 patients for a mean of 36.5 ± 29.2 months. Twenty-one (70%, 21/30) demonstrated disease stability or resolution and 9 (30%, 9/30) worsened with 3 undergoing surgery. No PAU ruptured during follow-up. Patient demographics, presenting symptoms, and PAU morphology did not predict disease progression. Referral to a cardiovascular surgeon at initial presentation was associated with a 40% decreased likelihood of disease progression (P = 0.046) and a 60% survival advantage at LTFU (P = 0.037). CONCLUSIONS:PAU disease progression occurs in 30% of patients at LTFU of 36.5 ± 29.2 months. All patients identified with PAU on diagnostic imaging should be referred for a surgical evaluation and follow-up, as referral to cardiovascular surgeon is associated with improved disease course.
