914 915 Acute Aortic Syndrome INTRODUCTION Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) represents a spectrum of life-threatening conditions with similar clinical presentation and the need for urgent management It includes classic acute aortic dissection (CAAD), intramural hematoma (IMH), and penetrating aortic ulcer (PAU) Although not included in the original definition of AAS, traumatic aortic rupture (TAR) and aortic aneurysm rupture have also been considered to be part of the AAS spectrum AAS is characterized by disruption of the media layer of the aorta and typically presents with acute chest pain The term “acute aortic syndrome” was first coined in 2001 by the Spanish cardiologists Vilacosta and San Román, who described AAS as a spectrum of interlinked lesions1 with the intent to increase awareness and to speed up diagnosis and appropriate treatment (Figure 32.1) 916 FIGURE 32.1 Acute aortic syndrome The acute aortic syndrome triad first described by Vilacosta and San Román Arrows signify possible progression of aortic lesions (penetrating aortic ulcer to IMH, penetrating aortic ulcer to classic dissection, IMH to classic dissection) IMH, intramural hematoma Although the incidence of AAS is lower than that of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), AAS carries a higher mortality, and is therefore a critical component of the differential diagnosis of chest pain in the Cardiac Care Unit (CCU) Overall incidence of AASs is to cases per 100,000 individuals Because AAS is rare, the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD) was created in 1996 as a way to combine data acquired from multiple top institutions in Europe, North America, and Asia.2 The 2010 intersocietal guidelines for the diagnosis and management of patients with thoracic aortic disease proposed a standard approach to the diagnosis and treatment of AAS.3 Although clinical history and physical examination are important, imaging is essential in the diagnosis of AAS Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the preferred imaging modalities and angiography is rarely needed CLASSIFICATION OF ACUTE AORTIC SYNDROMES Historically, CAAD was the first recognized form of AAS The 917 classification schemes used for the classic aortic dissection were subsequently extended to include IMH and PAU AASs are classified on the basis of the location and extent of involvement of the aorta Two systems have been proposed, the DeBakey and the Stanford systems (Figure 32.2) The DeBakey system, which was proposed in 1965 by the Lebanese-American surgeon Michael Ellis DeBakey, divided aortic dissection into three types based on the anatomic location Type I originates in the ascending aorta and propagates beyond the aortic arch, type II is limited to the ascending aorta only, and type III is limited to the descending aorta.4 FIGURE 32.2 DeBakey and Stanford classifications Left: DeBakey classification of aortic dissection Type I includes the ascending and descending aorta, type II includes the ascending aorta only, and type III includes the descending thoracic aorta only (DeBakey ME, Henly WS, Cooley DA, et al Surgical management of dissecting aneurysms of the aorta J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 1965;49:130-149.) Right: Stanford classification Type A aortic dissection involves the ascending thoracic aorta, and type B involves the descending thoracic aorta only All three AAS conditions; CAAD, IMH, and PAU use the Stanford classification CAAD, classic acute aortic dissection; IMH, intramural hematoma; PAU, penetrating aortic ulcer (Daily PO, Trueblood HW, Stinson EB, et al Management of acute aortic dissections Ann Thorac Surg 1970;10[3]:237-247.) The Stanford system, which was created by researchers at Stanford University in 1970, divides aortic dissections into two types Type A includes any dissection that involves the ascending aorta, whereas type B dissections are limited to the descending thoracic aorta.5 The Stanford classification appears to have wider acceptance and is now used for all 918 three AAS types: CAAD, IMH, and PAU INTRAMURAL HEMATOMA IMH is defined by crescentic or circumferential thickening of the media layer of the aortic wall IMH is likely due to a ruptured vasa vasorum resulting in intramural bleeding but without a detectable intimal tear It was first described in 1920 by the German pathologist Ernst Kruckenberg, who is also well known for his description of the so-called Kruckenberg tumors (transperitoneal ovarian metastases from stomach and colon cancers) On TEE, CT, or MRI, IMH is typically visualized as a crescentic or concentric thickening of the aortic wall > mm (Figure 32.3) The natural history of IMH often includes progression to CAAD, which accounts for its high morbidity and mortality 919 FIGURE 32.3 Intramural hematoma: CT CT of the chest shows the descending thoracic aorta The crescentic-shaped lesion on the patient’s left signifies an IMH (dashed arrows) CT, computed tomography; IMH, intramural hematoma Etiology and Pathophysiology IMH may account for up to 6% to 30% of all AAS, with a higher reported prevalence among the Korean and Japanese populations as compared with Western subjects.6 It is unclear whether this is a true discrepancy in prevalence versus a reflection of differing classification, evaluation, or treatment practices Often, IMH is diagnosed as such even though very small intimal tears indicative of limited aortic dissection may be present but missed by modern imaging modalities This may overestimate the true 920 prevalence of IMH as opposed to CAAD The characteristic feature of IMH is its location in the portion of the media closer to the adventitia, as opposed to CAAD which is typically located in the media closer to the intima Although the most cited hypothesis of the pathophysiologic mechanism of IMH is rupture of the vasa vasorum, there is very little corroborating clinical or experimental evidence Owing to the low incidence of IMH and the close association with CAAD, a definitive etiology still remains unclear.7 Clinical Manifestations According to the IRAD experience, IMH typically presents with the symptoms of severe chest and back pain, similar to CAAD However, IMH is less likely to present with manifestations of severe aortic regurgitation and pulse deficits.6 IMH is rarely stable It may either progress to CAAD or regress spontaneously, and therefore serial imaging is crucial Stanford type B lesions in the descending aorta are more common than type A lesions in the ascending aorta (60% vs 35% of all IMH, respectively) Cardiogenic shock may be present in 14% of patients, more typically with type A IMH.8 Pericardial effusion and tamponade may also be present, which are also more common in type A IMH When compared with CAAD, type A IMH has a significantly higher risk of rupture (26% vs 8%, respectively).9 A widened mediastinum may be present on chest X-ray; however, this is neither sensitive nor specific to IMH Diagnosis As with all types of AAS, rapid diagnosis is paramount in IMH TEE, CT, and MRI are the preferred diagnostic tools CT is often chosen because of widespread availability, rapid acquisition, and its ability to diagnose other causes of acute chest pain such as trauma and pulmonary embolism Classically, absence of an intimal flap or tear differentiates IMH from CAAD Often, IMH can be identified even on non–contrast-enhanced CT On contrast CT scans, a crescentic or circular area of high attenuation that does not enhance with contrast is present Similar findings are seen on MRI, which has the advantage of not requiring iodinated contrast On TEE, IMH is diagnosed if there is regional thickening of the aortic wall > mm in a crescentic or circumferential pattern without an intimal flap or tear (Figure 32.4A, B) Limitations of TEE in diagnosing IMH 921 arise from the TEE’s inability to visualize all portions of the aorta including the area around the origin of the brachiocephalic artery and all but the most proximal portions of the abdominal aorta TEE is very useful in diagnosing complications of IMH, such as pericardial effusion or aortic regurgitation FIGURE 32.4 Intramural hematoma: TEE Two-dimensional (2D) TEE of the ascending thoracic aorta in the long-axis (A) and short-axis (B) views Yellow arrows point to a crescentic thickening of the anterior portion of the ascending thoracic aortic wall, consistent with a type A IMH IMH, intramural hematoma; TEE, transesophageal echocardiography Small intimal tears may be missed by any modern imaging technique, challenging the diagnosis of classic IMH Management and Prognosis The prognosis of IMH is somewhat better than that of CAAD As in all AAS, the main determinant of prognosis is its aortic location According to the IRAD registry, the mortality of type A IMH is approximately 27%, compared with 4% in type B IMH Invasively managed patients with type A IMH typically fare better than medically managed patients Invasive options include open surgical repair and percutaneous thoracic endovascular aortic repair Medical management typically consists of heart rate (HR), blood pressure, and pain control Surgical mortality for IMH is similar to that for other forms of AAS Type B IMH is often managed medically Approximately 50% of type B patients may improve with medical management alone, 15% will remain 922 stable, and 35% may progress to aneurysm formation, CAAD, or focal aortic rupture (pseudoaneurysm).10 Intramural Hematoma in Pregnancy Although there are no specific guidelines in pregnancy for patients with IMH, pregnancy is considered a risk factor for the development of aortic pathology, especially in Marfan syndrome As with other forms of AAS, expedited delivery via caesarian section is considered reasonable for pregnant patients with acute IMH, if possible CLASSIC ACUTE AORTIC DISSECTION CAAD is the most common form of AAS.2 It occurs in approximately 66% to 75% of all AAS The overall incidence of CAAD is low, estimated at 0.5 to 4.0 cases per 100,000 per year, and is thought to affect men more than women in a 2:1 ratio Risk factors for CAAD include connective tissue disorders such as Marfan (fibrillin gene), Loeys–Dietz (transforming growth factor β receptor and genes), Ehlers–Danlos type (collagen gene), and Turner syndrome (X monosomy), as well as the aortopathy associated with bicuspid aortic valve (NOTCH1 gene) In addition, hypertension is a significant risk factor and is more prevalent among older patients Last, aortic instrumentation or surgery, as well as cardiac catheterization, are rare but reported causes of aortic dissection CAAD was first described in 1555 by Andreas Vesalius (1514–1564) who reported traumatic abdominal aortic aneurysm in a man who fell off a horse.11 Intimal tear, the hallmark of CAAD, was first described by Daniel Sennert (1572–1637), a German anatomist and published in 1650 posthumously.12 A very famous description of CAAD was by the British royal physician Frank Nichols (1699–1778) who provided the first unmistakable account of CAAD (deemed a “Transverse fissure of the aortic trunk”) in his autopsy of King George II, who died in 1760 while straining in the lavatory Successful surgical repair of descending aortic dissection was not reported until 1955, by Michael Debakey (1908–2008) and his colleagues, and ascending dissection until 1962 by Frank Spencer and Hu Blake.13,14 Etiology and Pathophysiology 923 TR See Tricuspid regurgitation Trabecular ventricular septal defect, 453 Trans fat, 708 Transcatheter aortic valve replacement
