Impact of histopathological changes in ascending aortic diseases.

Abstract:

AIMS:To better understand relationship between histological medial degenerative changes (MDC), pathological status [thoracic aorta aneurysm (TAA), thoracic aorta dissection (TAD), bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), and non-BAV] and aortic size at imaging. METHODS AND RESULTS:We collected 496 ascending aorta surgical specimens from patients with degenerative aortic diseases (mean age, 61 years) whose imaging data were available, including BAV in 191 (TAD 4%, TAA 96%) and with non-BAV in 305 (TAD 45%, TAA 55%). We analyzed them according to the pathology consensus statement and scored MDC [elastic fiber fragmentation and/or loss (EFFL); smooth muscle nuclei loss (SMNL); mucoid extracellular matrix accumulation (MEMA), intralamellar (I) or translamellar (T)] and measured medial wall thickness on correlation with imaging data and the status (TAA, TAD, BAV, or non-BAV). In TAA subset, EFFL, SMNL and MEMA-T scores were lower in BAV than in non-BAV. In relation to the aortic diameter, EFFL, SMNL and MEMA-T scores were more important in TAD subset than in TAA at the small aortic diameters. Independent predictors of aortic dissection included thicker medial wall (odds ratio [OR], 6.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.4 to 17.6; p < 0.0001) and greater SMNL score (OR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.1 to 1.3; p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS:This large cohort study confirms that non-BAV aortas present higher MDC scores than BAV aortas. Higher MDC scores are correlated with increased aortic diameter. TAD can occur not infrequently in smaller aortas associated with high MDC scores. This suggests that risk stratification of aortic dissection based on aorta dimensions is imperfect.
