摘要

Patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) have an increased risk to develop aortic complications. Many studies are pointing towards a possible embryonic explanation for the development of both a bicuspid aortic valve as well as a defective ascending aortic wall in these patients. The fetal and newborn ascending aortic wall has however scarcely been studied in bicuspid aortic valve patients. We hypothesize that early histopathological defects might already be visible in the fetal and pediatric ascending aortic wall of bicuspid aortic valve patients, indicating at an early embryonic defect.Non-dilated BAV ascending aortic wall samples were collected (n = 40), categorized in five age groups: premature (age range 17.5 weeks + days GA till 37.6 weeks + days GA) 2. neonate (age range 1 - 21 days) 3. infant (age range 1 month - 4 years) 4. adolescent (age range 12 years - 15 years) and 5. adult (age range 41 - 72 years). Specimen were studied for intimal and medial histopathological features.The premature ascending aortic wall has a significantly thicker intimal and significantly thinner medial layer as compared to all other age categories (p < 0.05). After birth the intimal thickness decreases significantly. The medial layer increases in thickness before adulthood (p < 0.05) with an increasing number of elastic lamellae (p < 0.01) and interlamellar mucoid extracellular matrix accumulation (p < 0.0001). Intimal atherosclerosis was scarce and medial histopathological features such as overall medial degeneration, smooth muscle cell nuclei loss and elastic fiber fragmentation were not appreciated in the BAV ascending aortic wall of any age.The main characteristics of a bicuspid ascending aortic wall are already present before adulthood, albeit not before birth. Considering the early manifestations of ascending aortic wall pathology in bicuspid aortic valve patients, the pediatric population should be considered while searching for markers predictive for future aortopathy.
