Article Abstract
Aortic dissection is a catastrophic, life-threatening event. Its management depends on the anatomic location of the intimal tear (type A v B) and the clinical presentation in type B aortic dissection. In this article, the current evidence supporting clinical practice, gaps in knowledge, and the need for more rigorous research and higher-quality studies are reviewed.

Centerline-based quantification of true Lumen helical Morphology in Type B aortic dissection: Unlocking the potential of helicity as a geometric biomarker.
J Biomech

Division of Vascular Surgery, Stanford University, Stanford, 94305, CA, USA.
The helical morphology of Type B aortic dissections (TBAD) represents a potentially important geometric biomarker that may influence dissection progression. While three-dimensional surface-based quantification methods provide accurate TBAD helicity assessment, their clinical adoption remains limited by significant processing time. We developed and validated a clinically practical centerline-based helicity quantification method using routine imaging software (TeraRecon) against an extensively validated surface-based method (SimVascular).

Introduction: The aim of this article is to compare the long-term efficacy of Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) versus Optimal Medical Therapy (OMT) in reducing mortality among adult patients with uncomplicated Stanford type B aortic dissection (uSTBAD).
Methods: An electronic search of PubMed, Cochrane Central and Google Scholar was conducted for studies comparing TEVAR with OMT for mortality in adult patients with uSTBAD. Relevant outcomes, including mortality, aortic rupture, re-intervention, retrograde type A dissection, myocardial infarction and stroke were analyzed and presented as risk ratios (RRs) along with their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).
Management of the dissected aortic root in young patients: A propensity score-matched analysis of mechanical versus bioprosthetic aortic root replacement.
JTCVS Open
August 2025
Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa.
Objective: Valve selection in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) requiring aortic root replacement is challenging given the clinical acuity, unknown patient preferences, risk of surgical bleeding, and limited life expectancy. We sought to identify long-term outcomes of mechanical versus bioprosthetic aortic root replacement in young patients with ATAAD.
Methods: Retrospective review of our institution's database of ATAAD was conducted to identify patients aged 65 years and younger who underwent mechanical Bentall (mech-Bentall) or bioprosthetic Bentall (bio-Bentall) for ATAAD from 2002 to 2022.
Thrombotic complications after aortic arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk stent-graft: A 10-year United Kingdom institutional experience.
JTCVS Open
August 2025
Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine, Royal Papworth Hospital, Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Cambridge, United Kingdom.
Objective: Postoperative intraluminal thrombosis after frozen elephant trunk replacement has been reported to occur with a frequency of 6% to 17% and is associated with poor outcomes. The purpose of this institutional review is to analyze thrombosis rate, predisposing patient and operative factors, and assess different anticoagulation regimens.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study includes 174 patients operated on over 10 years.
Loeys-Dietz syndrome subtypes exhibit distinct clinical behavior and aortic cellular transcriptomic profiles.
JTCVS Open
August 2025
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, Calif.
Objectives: Loeys-Dietz syndrome comprises genetically discrete subtypes of varying clinical severity. This study integrates longitudinal Loeys-Dietz syndrome clinical outcomes after aortic root replacement with transcriptomic analysis of aortic smooth muscle cell dysregulation to investigate mechanisms governing this subtype-specific aortic vulnerability.
Methods: Single institutional experience with aortic root replacement for nondissected aneurysm in patients with Loeys-Dietz syndrome was reviewed for midterm survival and distal aortic events (subsequent aortic intervention, aneurysm, or dissection).
