Vascular Medicine Series: Hereditary Aortic Aneurysms and Dissection
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.
Guests: Thais D. Coutinho, M.D., and Kristen A. Sell-Dottin, M.D.
Genetic factors predispose selected individuals to hereditary aortic aneurysms leading to aortic dilation and potential dissection. They can be seen in a variety of known genetic syndromes, and they differ from aortic aneurysms associated with aging and chronic, uncontrolled hypertension. Early recognition is critical in the management of these patients in preventing serious, often life-threatening aortic dissection. How common are hereditary aortic aneurysms? When and how should we screen patients for this condition? Is a genetic consultation recommended? When should we involve a vascular surgeon when at risk patients are identified? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guests, Thais D. Coutinho, M.D., a cardiologist and cardiac surgeon, Kristen A. Sell-Dottin, M.D., both from the Mayo Clinic. We’ll be discussing “Hereditary Aortic Aneurysms and Dissection” as part of our podcast series on “Peripheral Vascular Disease”.
