Overview
2010 ACCF/AHA/AATS/ACR/ASA/SCA/SCAI/SIR/STS/SVM Guideline Recommendations: Evaluation and Management of Acute Thoracic Aortic Disease (DO NOT EDIT)[1]
Screening Tests (DO NOT EDIT)[1]
| Class I |
| "1. An electrocardiogram should be obtained on all patients who present with symptoms that may represent acute thoracic aortic dissection." |
| "a. Given the relative infrequency of dissection-related coronary artery occlusion, the presence of ST-segment elevation suggestive of myocardial infarction should be treated as a primary cardiac event without delay for definitive aortic imaging unless the patient is at high risk for aortic dissection[2][3]. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| "2. The role of chest x-ray in the evaluation of possible thoracic aortic disease should be directed by the patient's pretest risk of disease as follows:" |
| "a. Intermediate risk: Chest x-ray should be performed on all intermediate-risk patients, as it may establish a clear alternate diagnosis that will obviate the need for definitive aortic imaging. (Level of Evidence:C)" |
| "b. Low risk: Chest x-ray should be performed on all low-risk patients, as it may either establish an alternative diagnosis or demonstrate findings that are suggestive of thoracic aortic disease, indicating the need for urgent definitive aortic imaging. (Level of Evidence:C) " |
| "3. Urgent and definitive imaging of the aorta using transesophageal echocardiogram, computed tomographic imaging, or magnetic resonance imaging is recommended to identify or exclude thoracic aortic dissection in patients at high risk for the disease by initial screening[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| Class III (No Benefit) |
| "1. A negative chest x-ray should not delay definitive aortic imaging in patients determined to be high risk for aortic dissection by initial screening.(Level of Evidence: C)" |
Genetic Syndromes of Familial Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Dissections (DO NOT EDIT) [1]
| Class IIa |
| "1. Sequencing of the ACTA2 gene is reasonable in patients with a family history of thoracic aortic aneurysms and/or dissections to determine if ACTA2 mutations are responsible for the inherited predisposition. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| Class IIb |
| "1. Sequencing of other genes known to cause familial thoracic aortic aneurysms and/or dissection (TGFBR1, TGFBR2, MYH11) may be considered in patients with a family history and clinical features associated with mutations in these genes. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| "2. If one or more first-degree relatives of a patient with known thoracic aortic aneurysm and/or dissection are found to have thoracic aortic dilatation, aneurysm, or dissection, then referral to a geneticist may be considered. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
