2 AATS 2015 Seattle P.Totaro Background Optimization of decision making process in patients presenting with ascending aorta aneurysm is still debated IRCCS San Matteo,Pavia-Italy University of Pavia

3 AATS 2015 Seattle P.Totaro Background Optimization of decision making process in patients presenting with ascending aorta aneurysm is still debated Despite several studies have been designed to evaluate potential predictive risk factors for early complications, maximum diameter still remains the key criteria for surgical indication IRCCS San Matteo,Pavia-Italy University of Pavia

5 AATS 2015 Seattle P.Totaro Objective To investigate potential markers of early complication in patients presenting with aortic aneurysm we have analyzed the mechanical characteristics of aortic wall and we have tried to correlate these results to preoperative parameters and histological intraoperative evaluation IRCCS San Matteo,Pavia-Italy University of Pavia

29 AATS 2015 Seattle P.Totaro Conclusions - 1 Mechanical characteristics of aortic wall do vary according the region of the aorta and the force applied Biomechanical characterization of aortic wall has to be defined with multiple evaluation Age is surely related to an impairment of mechanical properties IRCCS San Matteo,Pavia-Italy University of Pavia

30 AATS 2015 Seattle P.Totaro Conclusions - 2 The posterior region of the aorta seems to be more frail especially when a longitudinal force is applied regardless age of patients There are some correlations between increased maximum diameter and reduced strength of aortic wall There are some correlations between histological abnormalities and reduced strength of aortic wall IRCCS San Matteo,Pavia-Italy University of Pavia

31 AATS 2015 Seattle P.Totaro Conclusions - 3 There are clear correlations between histological abnormalities and maximum diameter Presence of bicuspid valve does not seem to impact significantly the mechanical properties of aortic wall IRCCS San Matteo,Pavia-Italy University of Pavia
