Aortic Dissection
Anatomy andPhysiology
An aortic dissection is a tear within the layers of the aorta. The tear occurs within the intima which causes a separation of the media, creating a new channel which is dened as the false lumen. The native channel is dened as the true lumen. Throughout the aortic dissection, there are many communications between the true and false lumen dened as fenestrations. The presence of an “intimal ap,” representing the intimomedial septum between the true and false lumen, is the most characteristic pathology in acute aortic dis­section [7] (Fig. 28.7). Aortic dissections are classied as acute versus chronic based onset timing and on the location of the entry tear. An acute aortic dissection is dened as onset of symptoms within 2weeks, subacute >14days to 90days, and chronic >90days.
Historically, there were two classication sys­tems: Debakey (1965) and Stanford (1970). The Debakey classication denes the intimal tear and the extent of aortic dissection. The standard Stanford classication describes only the tear and denes a type A as involving the proximal aorta or type B (TBAD) which is distal to the left sub­clavian artery [7] (Fig.28.8).
DeBakey
Type 1. Dissection originates in the ascending
aorta, extending to descending and abdominal aorta
Type 2. Dissection originates and is conned to
the ascending alone
Type 3. Dissection originates in the descending
aorta 3a=Supra-diaphragm 3b=Below diaphragm
The newest classication system as dened by the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) in 2020 helps to overcome previous limitations and fur­ther develop more accurate communication when describing the complex aortic dissection patient. Within the new SVS classication scheme for aortic dissection, the distinction between Type A and Type B is predicated on entry tear location alone and dened in zones [8].
When discussing aortic syndromes, intramu­ral hematoma (IMH) as well as the penetrating aortic ulcer (PAU) should also be included. IMH does not have a clear tear or communication as an aortic dissection but rather appears as hemor­rhage within the aortic wall [8]. A PAU is dened as atherosclerotic plaque that penetrates the aor­tic wall. PAU rupture risk is directly associated with the ulcer depth [8].

Pathology/Description
The process of an aortic dissection is dynamic, therefore can occur anywhere along the aorta and present with an array of symptoms. The entry tear occurs within the intima and media layers of the aortic wall, creating an intimal ap in which blood rushes into the space both proximal and distal with multiple fenestrations between layers [7]. Rupture of the intima and media is the initial event in most cases of aortic dissection. The violation of the inti­mal surface results in formation of a cleavage plane into the outer media and subsequent propa­gation for a varying distance in this plane, either antegrade or retrograde [7] (Fig.28.7).
Aortic dissections are classied as compli­cated versus uncomplicated. Complicated dissections are dened by malperfusion of end

Physical Exam
The patient may present with a wide array of symptoms. The classic description is described as a ripping, tearing, sharp, “worst ever” anterior chest or back pain. There may be evidence of an anxious appearing patient with tachycardia and tachypnea. If there is a ow-limiting dissection, the patient can present with hypoperfusion symp­toms and commonly abdominal pain. The medi­cal provider should always obtain blood pressure readings in both upper extremities as the patient may present with loss of pulses to extremities which could represent ischemia. Always com­plete a thorough cardiac exam and auscultate for cardiac murmur. If the dissection involves the intracranial vessel, there could be evidence of neurologic changes presenting with stroke, Horner’s syndrome, voice hoarseness, and spinal cord ischemia.
Imaging
When working up, aortic dissections consider the following imaging modalities. The gold standard imaging is a CT angiogram of the chest, abdo­men, and pelvis. An acute dissection ap (Fig.28.9) is thin in appearance compared with a
chronic dissection which will appear as a clearly dened dissection ap that usually is thicker and more dense [8]. IMH will appear as a hyper­density within the aortic wall. PAU will appear as an atherosclerotic lesion with ulcer-like projec­tion within the aortic wall. A chest X-ray can reveal widening of the cardiac or aortic silhouette with widened mediastinum. A TTE or TEE can be used to evaluate for any evidence of cardiac tamponade or aortic insufciency in the setting of a type A aortic dissection. A TTE should be ordered with diagnosis of acute aortic dissection. MR angiograms are not recommended. An EKG should always be obtained in the setting of acute type A aortic dissection. Proximal dissection into a coronary artery (RCA) can create STEMI in addition to aortic dissection.
Management
Prompt diagnosis and management are key, and aortic dissections are associated with high mor­bidity and mortality. Type B aortic dissections are either managed medically or occasionally surgi­cally. The cornerstone of medical therapy is reduction of arterial blood pressure [7]. Acute aortic dissection patients will be admitted to ICU for anti-impulse therapy and vasodilator therapy.

Beta blockade (labetalol or esmolol) is always initiated rst as vasodilators can cause a reex tachycardia, which can worsen the dissection. Intravenous nicardipine is commonly used as a vasodilator. The goal is prompt control of heart rate and systolic blood pressure goal <120mmHg or HR <70bpm.
Urgent surgical repair is indicated of acute type A aortic dissections because medical treat­ment is associated with 60% in-hospital death rate [7]. The anatomic goal is resection of the aortic intimal tear to eliminate the threat of rup­ture and to reconstruct the aortic wall layers. Type A dissection may require aortic valve repair/ replacement, aortic root/aortic arch/hemiarch repair/replacement. Acute tamponade may develop with dissection into the pericardium. This is a surgical emergency, and pericardial tap should be avoided as this may worsen hemody­namic collapse and delay emergent surgical intervention.
In patients with uncomplicated type B dissec­tion (TBAD), surgical therapy has not shown superiority over medical therapy [7]. Therefore, most TBAD are managed medically if uncompli­cated. The goal of medical therapy is anti-impulse control, pain control, and evaluating for malper-
fusion or disease progression. TEVAR or surgical intervention may be warranted in TBAD with persistent/recurring pain, uncontrolled hyperten­sion despite medical therapies, advancing aortic expansion, or any evidence of malperfusion. A TEVAR may be performed to prevent late com­plications and promote aortic remodeling as well. During this procedure, a stent graft is deployed in the true lumen to cover the entry tear with the goal of improved aortic perfusion and encourag­ing thrombosis of the false lumen (Fig.28.10).
Surveillance
The principal late complication of aortic dis­section is aneurysmal dilatation of the outer wall of the false lumen [7]. Regular follow-up with serial imaging for routine surveillance is recommended lifelong with a vascular surgery clinic. False lumen patency or thrombosis is an important predictor of regional luminal growth and reintervention rate [8]. In follow-up, maxi­mal aortic diameter is documented and fol­lowed over time. Patients with aortic dissection undergo at least annual surveillance with CT angiogram.

Clinical Pearls
• Patients diagnosed with aortic dissection
should be referred to an aortic center when
possible.
• Anti-impulse therapy is the mainstay of treat-
ment for heart rate and blood pressure in
patients with aortic dissection.
• A bicuspid aortic valve is associated with
increased risk of aortic dissection and thoracic
aortic aneurysm.
• Genetic referral for screening should be con-
sidered in patients with acute aortic dissec-
tions, especially in the younger population.

Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD)
JanaReid ArwaSaidi
1.1 Introduction
Congenital heart disease is a rapidly growing subspecialty of cardiology. Nearly 1% of infants born in the USA have congenital heart disease [1–4]. Initially considered a disease of the pediatric population, many advances in the eld have led to more adults now living with congenital heart disease than children. Prior to 1940, in the absence of any meaningful treatment options, 90% of infants born with complex congenital heart disease died before adult­hood [2]. Following major advancements in diagnosis and treatment, a major­ity of infants now live into adulthood. As such, there are currently well over one million adults living with congenital heart disease [4, 5].
The evolution of treatment of congenital heart disease has been dramatic over the last 60years. The development and advances in surgical, interven­tional, and diagnostic tools have changed the landscape of management and have profoundly affected outcomes. The rst PDA ligation was performed in
1938. In 1944, Dr. Blalock, Dr. Taussig and Mr. Thomas devised the rst shunt to improve pulmonary blood ow in a patient with Tetralogy of Fallot. The invention of the heart-lung bypass machine in 1955 led to the rst repair of an ASD, which was the start of decades of advancement in congenital heart surgery. Catheter based procedures were developed in the 1960s and initially treated lesions such as PDAs and ASDs and are now used in complex disease. The rst Fontan procedure was performed in 1968, allowing children born with a single functional ventricle to live past oneyear of age. The advent of 2D echocardiography in the 1970s permitted a major step forward in the diag-

nosis and management of congenital heart disease. Transposition of the Great Arteries was treated with the rst arterial switch procedure in 1975, eventu­ally replacing the previously performed atrial switch procedure and dramatically altering the long-term course for patients with TGA.The rst minimally invasive heart valve replacement was performed in 2000, leading the way for non-surgical options for a variety of congenital heart defects. 3D imaging is now being used to help map out complex anatomy in advance of intricate surgical interventions and stem cell therapy is an emerging eld that is the source of many exciting research studies [6].
Hundreds of thousands of infants and children have benetted from these advances in diagnosis, intervention, and clinical care, such that they are living well into adulthood. While initially thought to be curative, it has been recog­nized over time that many of these interventions allowed children to grow up without severe limitations, but with increased long-term morbidity and mor­tality, often becoming evident in the adult years. The need for uninterrupted specialized care in an ACHD center cannot be overstated, as outcomes for adults who have been lost to follow-up are notably worse than those who have consistent access to care. As childhood palliative interventions reach the end of their lifespan, adults with congenital heart disease are prone to atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, infective endocarditis, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and the need for pacemakers and/or debrillators [3, 4, 7]. They may require additional interventions for their congenital heart disease, either via surgical or transcatheter intervention. For those with advanced dis­ease processes that cannot be otherwise salvaged, advanced therapies includ­ing mechanical circulatory support and transplantation, sometimes multi-organ, may be considered. Additional factors for adults with congenital heart disease include contraception, pregnancy risk and delivery consider­ations, perioperative care for non-cardiac surgery and the management of acquired cardiac and non-cardiac co-morbidities [4–7]. A multidisciplinary model of care for adult congenital heart disease is critical to long-term health and wellness.
Adults with congenital heart disease make up an ever growing and intrigu­ing subset of general cardiology. Whether a simple or complex lesion, these patients have special considerations for management. There have been many advances in care over the last 60years and certainly the future is full of more revolutionary innovations for those living with congenital heart defects.

Simple Defects
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) A communication between the atria, allowing blood ow between the systemic and pulmonary circulations [1]. These can occur in isolation or as a part of a more complex diagnosis/constellation of defects.
Anatomy andPhysiology
Defect in the atrial septum. These can be in the septum primum, secundum, or associated with anomalous pulmonary veins in the case of a sinus venosus defect (superior or inferior location).
The degree of shunting across the ASD is determined by the size of the defect as well as the degree of ventricular compliance. In older adults who have decreased ventricular compliance and a stiffer ventricle, there is a greater risk of transient heart failure after closure of the atrial defect, given that the stiff ventricle now must accept a greater volume load and no longer has the “pop off” of the atrial septum [1, 2]. The development

of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction with sub­sequent increase in left atrial pressure may result in an increase left to right shunt in adults, espe­cially in the presence of hypertension or coronary artery disease.
Types ofASD
Secundum ASD: Located in septum primum, in the region of the fossa ovalis. This is more com­mon in females who make up 65–75% of the patient population with secundum ASD [3]. Depending on the defect size and pulmonary vas­cular resistance, it can often be closed by trans­catheter techniques.
Primum ASD: Also known as endocardial cushion or AV septal defects and are associated with abnormalities of the atrioventricular valves [3]. Anatomically located in the septum secun­dum, these ASDs usually require surgical repair. In the electrocardiogram a rst-degree atrioven­tricular block and left axis deviation can be found. Left ventricular outow tract obstruction can be present. Long-term complications in adults may result in need of permanent pace­maker, left sided atrio-ventricular valve replacement.
Sinus Venosus ASD: These are located along the superior or inferior portion of the atrial septum near the junction of the SVC or IVC. They are often associated with partial

anomalous pulmonary venous return. Superior sinus venosus is the most common form of the two, and accounts for 5–10% of all ASDs [3]. These commonly requires surgical repair of defect and bafing of the pulmonary veins to the left atrium.
superior and
inferior
Coronary Sinus Septal Defect: This is a defect in the wall of the coronary sinus also known as an “unroofed coronary sinus,” which can result in left to right shunting (LA CS defect RA) [3]. This is also commonly associated with a persistent left superior vena cava.
Primum
Physical Exam Correlations
On physical exam, there may or may not be a murmur if the ASD is small with a low degree of shunting. If a higher degree of left to right shunt is present, there may be a soft systolic ejection murmur given the increased blood ow across the pulmonary valve annulus. S2 may have xed splitting but this nding is not always present [3]. In patients with pulmonary hypertension, P2 may be loud or “snappy” [3].
Adults with undiagnosed ASDs may present with a chief complaint of fatigue, exercise intol­erance, and/or palpitations [1]. Paradoxical embolism may also occur.
EKG may demonstrate a right bundle branch block or rSr’ pattern in secundum atrial septal defect [1, 3].
Pathology/Description
This defect may be associated with Down Syndrome, Holt Oram syndrome, DiGeorge syn­drome, and Ellis Van Creveld syndrome [2]. There is an approximate 10% inheritance risk from a parent with an ASD to their child [2].
Imaging: CMR, Cardiac CT, and/or TEE are useful to evaluate ASD size, shape, rim tissue, and pulmonary venous connections in adults with
