    Abstract The evaluation and management of athletes with HTAD and aortopathy conditions requires shared decision-making encompassing the underlying condition, family history, aortic diameter, and type and intensity of sports and exercise. Mouse models of thoracic aortic disease show that low-to-moderate-level aerobic exercise can maintain aortic architecture and attenuate pathologic aortic root dilation. Although controlled trials in human are lacking, recreational physical activities performed at a low-to-moderate aerobic pace are generally low risk for most individuals with aortopathy conditions. High-intensity, competitive, and contact sports or physical activities are generally prohibited in individuals with aortopathy conditions.

    Abstract AGT (angiotensinogen) is the unique precursor for the generation of all the peptides of the renin-angiotensin system, but it has received relatively scant attention compared to many other renin-angiotensin system components. Focus on AGT has increased recently, particularly with the evolution of drugs to target the synthesis of the protein. AGT is a noninhibitory serpin that has several conserved domains in addition to the angiotensin II sequences at the N terminus. Increased study is needed on the structure-function relationship to resolve many unknowns regarding AGT metabolism. Constitutive whole-body genetic deletion of

    Abstract Background: Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a heritable connective tissue disorder, is associated with muscle dysfunction, joint subluxations and pain. The impact of hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome on musculoskeletal mechanics is understudied. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the effects of hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome on lower extremity gait mechanics and muscle strength.
    Methods: Eleven people with hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and 11 asymptomatic controls underwent a 3D gait analysis and isometric hip and knee muscle strength assessment. Joint subluxations were self-reported by the hypermobile Ehlers Danlos syndrome group. Independent t-tests and Mann Whitney U tests were used to analyze joint mechanics, muscle strength, and patient report outcomes (p < 0.05).
    Findings: Both groups exhibited similar walking speeds as well as similar hip, knee, and ankle joint kinematics. The hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome group walked with a lower peak hip extensor moment (hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome: -0.52 ± 0.28 Nmˑkg
    Interpretation: Patients with hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome ambulated with altered hip extensor moments and exhibit hip extensor weakness. Future work should investigate the underlying mechanisms of hip extensor weakness and corresponding effects on joint health in people with hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.

    Abstract A robust, accurate, and standardized approach to measurement of the aorta is critical to improve the predictive accuracy of these aortic measurements, and to investigate other aortic imaging biomarkers. Developing a comprehensive and generic schema for characterization of the aorta to enable investigators to standardize data that are collected across all aorta research. A systematic review of the literature was conducted to identify and assess schemata of aortic measurement and description. The schemata were reported and discussed to guide the synthesis of a comprehensive schema. We propose the International College of Angiology Aortic Research Schema as a comprehensive design that fills the gaps left behind by previously reported schemata. It is intended to be applicable for all clinically relevant purposes, including endograft development for aneurysm repair and for the accurate characterization of the aortic anatomy. This schema divides the aorta into 14 segments and 2 sections (thoracic and abdominal aortas). The segmentation proposed can be used in addition to specific measurements taken for any aneurysm including the neck, and maximal and minimal diameters of the aneurysm.

    Abstract Aneurysmal degeneration of the thoracoabdominal aorta after aortic dissection is a well-documented sequela of Marfan syndrome (MFS). Hybrid technique (HT), an emerging treatment modality for complex aortic pathologies, decreases morbidity and mortality relative to open surgery. However, outcome data regarding HT in genetic aortopathies such as MFS is limited. We describe a case of a young male with hypertension and type B aortic dissection (AD) complicated by a symptomatic thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA). He underwent staged HT comprised of carotid-carotid transposition followed by zone 1 thoracic endovascular aortic repair and concurrent retrograde left subclavian stent graft placement. Genetic analysis was consistent with Marfan syndrome. Subsequent growth of his TAAA warranted open extent type IV TAAA repair with individual renovisceral and iliac bypasses. The patient recovered from the second surgery without further progression of disease or late complication.

    Abstract Spontaneous rupture of mesenteric vasculature associated with fibromuscular dysplasia is an unreported phenomenon. We describe a case in a 28-year-old male with a history of chronic abdominal pain who presented to our facility in hemorrhagic shock secondary to a ruptured transverse mesocolon middle colic aneurysm status postemergent transverse colectomy. He was found to have chronic vertebral, renovisceral, and iliac aneurysms as well as acute superior and inferior mesenteric artery dissection and chronic bilateral vertebral artery dissections. He subsequently developed disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, resulting in saddle pulmonary embolus as well as right renal artery and splenic artery thrombosis. Ultimately, the patient expired.
