what makes an aortic dissection “Complicated”
Complicated dissection is those with:
- persistent pain
- thoracoabdominal mal perfusion
- impending rupture
sizing of the graft for a valve-sparing root
- Estimated annulus
- Dacron graft size
Aortic annulus ~ 2/3 cusps height x 2
Dacron graft ~ 2/3 cusps height x 2 + LVOT thickness
DeBakey type 1 aneurysm
Ascending and descending aorta
Signs of mitral stenosis
- Low volume pulse pressure
- Irregular pulse
- Tapping non-displaced apex beat
- Loud S1 heart sound
- Opening snap Mid diastolic rumbling heart loudest at the apex
- Pulmonary HTN
- Mitral facies : Rosy cheeks while the rest of the face is cyanotic
- Central cyanosis
- Loud P2 heart sound
- TR – pan systolic murmur at right sternal edge
- Pulmonary Regurgitation: Grahm Steel early systolic murmur on inspiration
Social history questions for aortic dissection
physical exam
Query the use of amphetamines or coccaine
Physical:
Skeletal to diagnose CT disease
Vascular exam should be documented
Medical treatment of a type B dissection
a. Beta - blocker ( esmolol or labetolol)
b. vasodilator (nipride)
what territory does ECG lead I represent
anterolateral
Severe mitral regurgitation in an asymptomatic patient direction
of treatment
- if LVEF > 60, LVESD < 40 and liklihood of repair > 95% with expected mortality < 1% –> Repair
- if new onset afib or PASP > 50 and liklihood of repair > 95% and expected mortality < 1% –> Repair
- if LVEF 30-60% or LVESD > 40 –>“mitral surgery”
Per Boling:
LVEF < 60%, PAP > 50, LVESD > 40, AF
If > 95% repair, <1%, mortality
MVA for Moderate MS
MS (mitral valve area 1.6 cm2 to 2.0 cm2)
the direction of the jet with a restricted leaflet
jet will be toward the restricted leaflet
Ghent criteria
Minor Skeletal Criteria
- Pectus excavatum of moderate severity
- Joint hypermobility
- Highly arched palate with crowding of teeth
- Facial appearance:
- dolichocephaly
- malar hypoplasia
- enophthalmos
- retrognathia
- down-slating palpebral fissures
Low Risk Pulmonary Embolism
Embolism without the presence of :
- shock
- hypotension
- RV dysfunction
- Myocardial injury
Diagnostic criteria for STEMI
Angina sx for > 20 min
with
ST elevation > 1mm in 2 contigous leads
or
LBBB
Method of selecting a tricuspid ring size
- Using a sizer:
septal leaflet and the surface area of leaflet tissue from the anterior pap muscle
- Approximately
30-32 for a female
32-34 for a male
Reccomendation
Mitral stenosis patient
symptomatic
MVA < 1.5cm2
Wilkins < 8
No LA thrombus
No MR
Class 1: PMBC
Anteroseptal ECG leads
V1 and V2
IIb/IIIa inhibitors
when should they be discontinued
- Eptifibatide (integrillin) - IIb/IIIa Inhibitor - 2-4 hr
- Tirofiban ( Aggrastat) - IIb/IIIa inhibitor -2 -4 hours
- Abciximab (Repro) - IIb/IIIa inhibitor -12 hours

Ghent criteria
minor skin criteria

Ghent Criteria:
Major family history Criteria
- Having a first-degree relative (parent, child, or sibling) who meets these diagnostic criteria independently
- Presence of a mutation in FBN1 known to cause the Marfan syndrome
- Presence of a haplotype around FBN1, inherited by descent, known to be associated with unequivocally diagnosed Marfan syndrome in the family
