    Abstract Understanding the consequences of genotype for phenotype (which ranges from molecule-level effects to whole-organism traits) is at the core of genetic diagnostics in medicine. Many measures of the deleteriousness of individual alleles exist, but these have limitations for predicting the clinical consequences. Various mechanisms can protect the organism from the adverse effects of functional variants, especially when the variant is paired with a wild type allele. Understanding why some alleles are harmful in the heterozygous state - representing dominant inheritance - but others only with the biallelic presence of pathogenic variants - representing recessive inheritance - is particularly important when faced with the deluge of rare genetic alterations identified by high throughput DNA sequencing. Both awareness of the specific quantitative and/or qualitative effects of individual variants and the elucidation of allelic and non-allelic interactions are essential to optimize genetic diagnosis and counselling.

    Abstract True intrathoracic subclavian artery aneurysms (SCAAs) are rare and have various etiologies. Right intrathoracic SCAAs pose specific anatomic challenges to repair. We present three different operative approaches, open, endovascular, and hybrid repair, for the repair of a right intrathoracic SCAA in three patients with genetic arteriopathy: Marfan syndrome, vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and unspecified Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, respectively. These cases demonstrate an individualized operative approach based on the genetic diagnosis for each patient presenting with a right intrathoracic SCAA.

    Abstract Orthopaedic surgeons are sometimes the first specialists encountered by patients with inherited conditions that predispose them to aneurysms. The skeletal features are evident, but the aneurysm is silent. Early recognition of the conditions associated with aneurysms can lead to effective treatment and minimize risks of morbidity and death. Marfan syndrome is characterized by abnormal fibrillin-1 protein and has a broad range of skeletal manifestations, including scoliosis, hindfoot deformity, arachnodactyly, pectus excavatum or carinatum deformity, dural ectasia, and acetabular protrusio. Aneurysm-associated complications are the leading cause of early morbidity and death in patients with Marfan syndrome. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is caused by a disturbance in collagen biosynthesis most commonly resulting in joint hypermobility and skin abnormalities. Among the types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome presents the highest risk of vascular complications. Clubfoot and joint dislocations are common presenting symptoms in vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Loeys-Dietz syndrome is a connective tissue disorder resulting in aortic root dilation and several skeletal manifestations, including scoliosis, cervical malformations, joint contractures, and foot deformities.

    Abstract Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (VEDS) is rare, affecting an estimated 1 per 50,000 individuals, and is associated with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), among other arteriopathies. We present three patients with genetically confirmed VEDS who underwent successful open AAA surgical repair and demonstrate that elective open AAA repair with careful tissue manipulation is safe and feasible for patients with VEDS. These cases also demonstrate that the VEDS genotype is associated with the aortic tissue quality (genotype-surgical phenotype correlation), with the most friable tissue encountered in the patient with a large amino acid substitution and the least friable tissue in the patient with a null (haploinsufficiency) variant.

    Abstract Objective: Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (VEDS) is rare and associated with arteriopathies. The aim of this study is to investigate the presentation, operative interventions, and outcomes of splenic arterial pathology in a population of more than 1500 individuals with genetically confirmed VEDS due to pathogenic COL3A1 variants.
    Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of 1547 individuals was performed. The data were assembled by harmonizing data from three overlapping cohorts with genetically confirmed VEDS: the VEDS Collaborative Natural History Study (N = 242), a single-center cohort (N = 75), and the University of Washington Collagen Diagnostic Lab cohort (N = 1231). Duplicates were identified and removed. Patients were selected for analysis if they had splenic artery aneurysm (SAA), pseudoaneurysm, dissection, thrombosis, or rupture. Demographics, COL3A1 variants, interventions, and outcomes were analyzed. Comparisons by splenic artery rupture were made.
    Results: A total of 88 patients presented between 1992 and 2021 with splenic artery pathology (5.7% of the cohort; mean age at diagnosis, 37 ± 11.1 years; 50% male). One-third were diagnosed with VEDS prior to the splenic artery pathology diagnosis, and 17% were diagnosed post-mortem. Most had a positive family history (61%). Most had COL3A1 variants associated with minimal normal collagen production (71.6%). Median follow up was 8.5 years (interquartile range, 0.9-14.7 years). Initial presentation was rupture in 47% of the cases. Splenic artery rupture overall was 51% (n = 45), including four cases of splenic rupture. There were no major differences in VEDS-related manifestations or COL3A1 variant type by rupture status. SAA was noted in 39% of the cases. Only 12 patients had splenic artery diameter documented in 12 cases with a median diameter of 12 mm (interquartile range, 10.3-19.3 mm). A total of 34 patients (38.6%) underwent 40 splenic arterial interventions: 21 open surgical, 18 embolization, and one unknown procedure. More than one splenic artery intervention was performed in five cases (14.7%). Open repair complications included arteriovenous fistula (n = 1), intestinal or pancreatic injury (n = 1 each), and four intraoperative deaths. There were no deaths or access site complications related to splenic artery embolization. Four patients (23.5%) developed a new SAA in the remaining splenic artery post embolization. All-cause mortality was 35% (n = 31), including 22 related to a ruptured splenic artery.
    Conclusions: Splenic arteriopathy in VEDS is associated with variants that affect the structure and secretion of type III collagen and frequently present with rupture. Rupture and open repair are associated with high morbidity and mortality, whereas embolization is associated with favorable outcomes. Suggest repair considerations at SAA diameter of 15 mm. Long-term follow-up is indicated as secondary splenic arteriopathy can occur.

    Abstract We have presented the case of a right radial artery aneurysm (RAA) in a 27-year-old man with cerebral and coronary artery aneurysms and features of Parkes-Weber syndrome (port-wine stains and right upper extremity arteriovenous malformation and overgrowth). The RAA was repaired with an interposition great saphenous vein bypass graft. Analysis of the intracranial artery aneurysm and affected skin demonstrated a somatic mutation in the platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β gene. Mosaicism was present in the RAA but not in the great saphenous vein. Somatic mosaicism should be considered as a possible etiology for peripheral aneurysms in patients for whom standard genetic test results are unrevealing.
