Abstract
Background: dilatative pathology of ascending aorta (DPAA) is the most common cause of a life-threatening condition - aortic dissection and rupture. One of the main cause of DPAA is congenital bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) [1]. Aim: to evaluate the differences of 2D, 2D-speckle tracking (ST) echocardiographic, histological changes of the ascending aorta in DPAA patients (pts.) with congenital BAV or tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). Methods: the current study included 44 pts. with DPAA: 21 with TAV and 23 with congenital BAV. Inclusion criteria were an ascending aorta or sinus dilation ≥40 mm with or without aortic valve (AV) pathology, good-quality echocardiographic images, sinus rhythm, and the absence of hemodynamically significant coronary artery disease shown by coronary angiography (stenosis <50 %). 30 pts. underwent surgery due to the conventional indications for aortic dilatation/aneurysm of the ascending aorta or AV pathology (stenosis or regurgitation) in the Cardiac Surgery Department at the Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kaunas Clinics during 2012-2014. The samples of the ascending part of the aortic wall were obtained during cardiac surgery. The characteristic features under evaluation were as follows: cystic media degeneration, media necrosis, fibrosis, elastic fiber fragmentation. A clinical evaluation, 2D, 2D ̶ST echocardiography were performed prior to cardiac surgery. For the aortic 2D-ST analysis, tissue harmonic images were used. The echocardiographic images of the ascending aorta were obtained from the long-axis parasternal view. The peak longitudinal strain (LS), longitudinal (LD) and transverse (TD) displacements, longitudinal velocity (VL) of the Valsalva sinuses and the ascending part of the aorta were evaluated. SPSS version 22 was used for all data analyses.[...].
