The arterial endothelialization of arterial grafts by tissue engineering techniques represents a significant goal in the prosthetics engineering procedures because of its multiple protective properties of ECs in the particular prevention of thrombosis, reducing neointimal hyperplasia and the controlling the inflammatory phenomenon of neovascularization, etc.
[62]. Importantly, this endothelialization is based on the activity of EPCs [63] by their content in bioactive peptides that
participate in the formation of the endothelium bioactive peptides by their linear adherence [64].
Cellular endothelialization treatment of biologic or synthetic sides represents an important approach to increase “bio­compatibility of implantable biomaterials” [65]. Specifically, cellular endothelialization could use various cellular types like “endothelial cells, SMCs, fibroblastic cells, or macrophages.” EC resources for tissue engineering are mature ECs, EPCs, or pluripotent stem cells [56]. Sources for autologous vascular cells are superficial veins, bone marrow punctua­tion, peripheral blood and adipose tissue that may be harvested from patients. Separation of autologous vascular cells is restricted as a consequence of a number of causes, which comprise inadequate vessel condition and limited multiplying ability of harvested primary cells and technical hazards to obtain “pure populations of vascular cells.” It is important to note that a precondition for total coating of the total surface of artificial grafts with vascular cells is the development of “the cells using bioreactors” [66,67] or “magnetic seeding” [68]. Fibronectin coating is significant for the attachment of ECs, although fibroblasts have the capacity to manufacture their individual ECM proteins to permit enhanced cell attachment [69]. Coculture of fibroblasts and SMCs is an alternative to the manufacture of ECM for stable “EC seeding”
[70]. Consequently, in cardiovascular surgery, in vitro endothelialization is just realistic previous to particular surgical
techniques. In vitro endothelialization appears as an applicable clinical technique for heart valve surgery but also for vascular graft replacement surgery.
It is well known that for over 40 years in humans, “transanastomotic endothelial ingrowth” does not go beyond the bounds of over 1–2 cm after years of implantation [71]. As a result, approaches are compulsory to ensure fast in vivo

endothelialization after implantation of the prosthetic grafts. As mentioned earlier, appropriate ECs are CECs, EPCs [58], and EPCs characterized by their cluster of differentiation as mesenchymal stem cells [59–61]. The mechanism is based on the acquiring of cells from the blood and to seed cells without delay on the graft surfaces. Further, the seeded cells are supposed to increase and expand and make a distinction to assemble antithrombotic sides and viable tissues. Among them, particularly EPCs and the bone marrow–derived monocyte lineage cells have become known as the potential resources for prosthetic graft seeding [72].
Potential mechanisms of protective effects of seeded ECs on intimal hyperplasia in vascular prosthesis have been stud­ied. First, the production of NO, C-type natriuretic peptide, and heparan sulfate by ECs leads to inhibition of proliferation and migration of VSMCs. Second, the production of NO and prostacyclin (PGI2) by ECs inhibits platelet aggregation, with subsequent reduction in release of platelet-derived growth factor and thromboxane A2 by platelets. Third, the mechanical barrier formed by ECs prevents infiltration of leukocytes, thereby reducing the production of growth-stimulation cytokines including TNF-α and transforming growth factor-beta [72].
Nevertheless, further studies are needed due to inconsistent data results from animal studies and clinical trials on “tissue-engineered biomaterials” [73].
A variety of approaches as well as in vitro endothelialization of the graft have been employed to surmount these prob­lems but it has been underlined that a small number of in vivo results have been acquired even if different in vitro models were not able to prove that the EC functions are preserved similarly to the normal endothelium [74,75] and to prevent thrombosis and hyperplasia [62]. This states that the engineered neoendothelium is not able to control this processes when it comes, and this is why current studies aim to prove that the EC adhesion optimization would prevent the intragraft thrombosis. Further, Huang et al. propose a sequential mechanism of muscle tissue remodeling and vascular grafts from endothelialization of vascular grafts starting with the initial stage of EPC [76] (see Fig. 2.8).

Moreover, several studies revealed that when blood gets in contact with a different covering surface other than the endothelium, there is an elevated thrombosis risk. These conditions can be related also with releasing of the connected ECs that can separate immediately after implantation because of the shear stress correlated with blood flow [77]. The EC layer inhibit intensely thrombosis by thrombomodulin receptors, heparin sulfate, proteoglycans, secretion of NO, prostacyclin, protein S, and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA). Aside from these findings, the endothelium has the primary role in blood pressure regulation, angiogenesis, and adhesion and transmigration of inflammatory cells. Therefore, it is regarded as an essential factor for sustaining good “the long-term patency.” Despite the fact that ECs have restricted ability for regeneration and used up their regeneration after more or less 70 cell cycles, this has been incriminated to the hypothesis that endothelialization of vascular grafts takes place via one of four mechanisms:
l Seeding ECs onto graft [78–84], l EC migration from adjacent artery [78,85–91], l Through deposition of circulating detached ECs or capillaries [79,91–93], l Via ingrowth of capillaries through porous grafts [94].
In view of the fact that Herring anticipated from 1978 “the method of seeding ECs” on the luminal side of synthetic conduits [95,96], multiple studies had been tried to develop clinical results of patency by improving ECs connection. In the same time, in scaffold-based blood vessel engineering, bioreactors, and pulsatile flow systems, planned by numerous researchers, some important development has been established looking at the mechanical findings of the engineered blood vessels by enhancing the settling and reformation of ECM and also completion and demarcation of “self-assembled micro­tissues” [97–100].
Despite numerous in vitro and in vivo results obtained by different research groups in the production of bioengineered blood vessels, to the best of our knowledge, there are no clinical applications of any of these devices. However, Zhu et al.
[101] developed a three-dimensional scaffold for vascular tissue engineering by employing hyaluronic acid (HA) and
human like collagen. A tubular structure was obtained by cross-linking the polymers with glutaraldehyde and then by freeze drying the obtained product previously placed in a tubular mold. Authors demonstrated that the presence of HA supports EC proliferation and preserves their efficiency. In addition, HA improves the mechanical properties of vascular hybrid scaffold [101].
In summary, there is no prosthetic aortic wall that is identical to the native and all attempts have the aim to bring arti­ficial graft vessel with the native aorta. Presently, xenografts/allografts or biomimetic prostheses are those closest to the structural and functional native vessel [102].
CONCLUSIONS
AA and especially AAA affect a high percentage of the older population in industrialized countries and mortality rates
associated with rupture of AAA are high. Smoking is a predominantly relevant risk factor for AAA [103]. Further stud­ies are required to establish the molecular types and signaling pathways implicated in the consequence of smoking on the induction of mPGES-1 and prostaglandin E2 receptor 4 (EP4) expression in human AAA [104].
Numerous pathophysiological procedures of aortic valve stenosis and AAs, such as macromolecule transport, gene expression modifications, cell death pathways, calcification, inflammation, and neoangiogenesis, are directly based on biomechanical factors [2] (Fig. 2.9). The team of Aparicio et al. [105] tried to realize a sophisticated fluid-solid growth computational framework for modeling aneurysm evolution. Further, they illustrated the use of this novel fluid-solid growth framework to model abdominal AA (AAA) development and to observe how the effect of the definition of the wall shear stress (WSS) homeostatic threshold manipulates AAA progression. They concluded that enhanced understanding and mod­eling of the endothelial heterogeneity is important for modeling aneurysm development and, more generally, other vascular diseases where hemodynamic stimuli play a significant role [105].
Currently, the surgical treatment is the only alternative afforded in patients with large AAA, in specific conditions. Higher attention on the rising role of ECs in AAA pathology may be a factor in creating new curative alternative in a disease with no corrected employed pharmaceutical treatment [9].
Nonetheless, restoration and mostly the prevention of aorta aneurysm development comprise the delay of endothelial dysfunction with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, statins, antiplatelet medications, and anticoagulants, of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species produced by ECM, and decreasing of proinflammatory cytokines and MMPs caused by leucocytes activity [1].

INTRODUCTION
The aorta is a complex organ with an intricate intrinsic biology that transmits oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the systemic circulation and has sophisticated hemodynamic functions [1,2]. Aortic dissection is a catastrophic medical condition in which separation of the medial layers of the aortic wall allows the anterograde or retrograde propagation of a blood-filled channel within the aortic wall [1]. The incidence of aortic dissection is 3–6 per 100,000 people/year [3–5] and it is thought to be the most common cause of death related to the human aorta [1,2]. Aortic dissection is classified accord­ing to the DeBakey (based on anatomical patterns) and Stanford (based on prognosis and therapeutic consequences) clas­sification schemes (Fig. 3.1; Table 3.1) [6]. The histological features of the aortic wall and the histopathological change seen in dissected aortas have been known for well over half a century [7]. However, over time, dissections (especially type B dissections) undergo dynamic histopathological and morphological changes as they transition from the acute phase (up to 2 weeks after the onset of symptoms [8]) to the subacute phase (between 2 weeks and 3 months after the onset of symptoms [8]) and finally into the chronic state (greater than 3 months after the onset of symptoms [8]). In this chapter, we characterize these changes, the natural history of this transition, and the resulting clinical implications.
NORMAL HISTOLOGY OF THE AORTA
Structurally, the aorta is classified as an elastic artery and functionally as a distributing or conducting artery [9]. The wall of the aorta is composed of three concentric layers or tunics: the intima, media, and adventitia (Fig. 3.2).
l Tunica Intima: This is the innermost, narrowest layer that consists of a simple squamous epithelium, the endothelium,
resting on a basement membrane and subendothelial connective tissue [9–11]. The endothelium is composed of a solitary layer of polygonal, flattened, and elongated endothelial cells and is involved in important physiologic processes
[9,10]. The basement membrane consists of the basal lamina, which borders the overlying endothelium, and the reticular
lamina, which blends with the underlying connective tissue [12]. The subendothelial layer of loose connective tissue

TABLE 3.1 Classification of Aortic Dissection
DeBakey Classification
Type I Originates in the ascending aorta and extends at least to the aortic arch and often to the
descending aorta (and beyond)
Type II Originates in the ascending aorta and confined to this segment
Type III Originates in the descending aorta, usually just distal to the left subclavian artery, and
extends distally
Stanford Classification
Type A Dissections involving the ascending aorta (with or without extension into the descending
aorta)
Type B Dissections not involving the ascending aorta

contains collagen fibers, fibroblasts, elastic fibers, and cells that resemble smooth muscle cells called myointimal cells
[9,11]. With advancing age, increasing amounts of lipid build up in myointimal cells, eventually leading to the develop-
ment of atherosclerosis [9,11]. A layer composed of elastin, the internal elastic lamina, demarcates the tunica intima from the tunica media.
l Tunica Media: This is the thickest and most prominent, middle layer of the aortic wall. In the aorta, especially in
the thoracic segment, it contains an abundant amount of elastic material relative to smooth muscle cells, hence the classification as an elastic artery [9]. It has a layered structure composed of elastin, collagen, smooth muscle cells, and ground substance. Individual elastic fibers in the media combine together extensively giving rise to elastic lamellae. These fenestrated elastic lamellae are arranged in concentric layers and alternate with and are separated by circumferentially arranged layers of smooth muscle cells, fine elastin fibers, and collagenous tissue [9,11]. These structural components of the media are regularly arranged such that a “lamellar unit” of the aortic media may be defined as consisting of two parallel elastic lamellae enclosing a smooth muscle cell, collagen fibers, fine elastic fibers, and extracellular matrix components (Fig. 3.3) [13,14]. The thoracic aortic media contains

The highly elastic nature of the aortic wall is demonstrated in these preparations in which the elastic fibers are stained brownish-black. In micrograph (A), the three basic layers of the wall can be seen: the narrow tunica intima I, the broad tunica media M, and the tunica adventitia A. At high magnification in (B), the tunica media is seen to consist of concentric fenestrated sheets of elastin (stained black) separated by collagenous tissue (stained reddish-brown) and smooth muscle fibers (stained yellow). As seen in micrograph (A), the collagenous tunica adventitia (stained reddish-brown) contains small vasa vasorum V, which also penetrate the outer half of the tunica media.

Electron micrograph of a single lamellar unit in the medial layer of the aortic wall showing a VSMC lying between two layers of elastin fibers and surrounded by ECM proteins containing microfibrils and proteoglycans. Lamellar units are intercalated by collagen bundles. The lamellar unit represents the basic structural and functional unit of the aortic wall.

approximately 53–78 lamellar units [15,16], whereas the abdominal aortic media contains approximately 28 [15]. The numerous elastic lamellae allow the aorta to distend and expand (within physiologic limits, imposed by virtue of the tensile strength conferred by collagen in the adventitia) to receive blood pushed out by the left ventricle during systole and then recoil and rebound during diastole [10,11,17]. The aorta thus engages in a “game of catch with the stroke volume,” cooperating with the left ventricle and maintaining, steadying, and smoothing out arterial pressure [1,17]. An outer elastic lamina demarcates the media from the adventitia.
l Tunica Adventitia: This is the outermost layer of the aortic wall and is composed of loose connective tissue, primar-
ily collagen. It contains the nervi vasorum, lymphatics, and the vasa vasorum (“vessels of the vessel”), which are small arteries that provide oxygen and nutrients to the wall of the aorta itself because diffusion from the lumen is
