In the 1st longitudinal prospective study ever, wall shear stress by 4D #WhyCMR predicted co-localised progressive ascending aorta dilation rate in patients with non-dysfunctional #bicuspid aortic valve. Brief 🧵summarising the findings. From @jaccjournals jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jcmg.…

Pts with #Marfan or #Loeys-Dietz syndrome who underwent root replacement are at high risk of distal aortic events, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. In this prospective study including pre- and post-#4Dflow #WhyCMR valve-sparing root replacement partially restores.. (1/3)

suggesting 4Dflow-derived hemodynamics may become a therapeutic target and permit the optimization of aortic interventions. Larger studies and long FU are needed! Full-text sciencedirect.com/science/ar… Big thanks to the patients, authors, reviewers, @VHIR_ @vallhebron and funders!

Aortic diameter and its growth are key for the clinical management of aortic aneurysms Guideline-recommended method is subjective, poorly reproducible, and time-consuming We presented an innovative image analysis method substantially outperforming current standard #whycmr

False lumen thrombus presence and extent in chronic aortic dissection of the descending aorta is related to local flow characteristics, particularly blood kinetic energy. This non-invasive measure may be important to personalize patient management. Read @ rdcu.be/dvk9C

Prof. Trimarchi covering the topic of “uncomplicated” type B aortic dissection. Prophylactic TEVAR? among the many descriptors possibly weighting, only diameter and total thrombosis seem robust to sustain a decision.
