syndrome, and familial non-syndromic TAADs. Syndromic TAADs are typically caused by pathogenic variants in the transforming growth factor- β signal and extracellular matrix-related genes, such as FBN1, TGFBR1, TGFBR2, SMAD3, TGFB2, COL3A1, while approximately 20% of the non-syndromic hereditary TAADs result from altered components of the contractile apparatus of vascular smooth muscle cells, encoded by ACTA2, MYH11, MYLK, and PRKG1 genes. The genotype–phenotype relationship of hereditary TAADs has been extensively investigated to improve the methods for risk stratification and personalized treatment strategies. In this review, we present the current understanding of genotype–phenotype relationship and molecular mechanisms responsible for aortopathies of hereditary TAADs.

Objectives: We investigated the relation between success placement of central venous (CV) port and anatomical factors associated with left brachiocephalic vein (LBV) stenosis. Methods: One hundred forty-nine patients who underwent CV port placement were included from Jan. 2014 to Dec. 2017 in our institu-tion. All patients performed CT scan prior to CV port placement. We investigated the diameter of LBV, the distance between sternum and aorta, and the curving angle of LBV around aorta. We compared them with success rate of CV catheter insertion. Results: CV catheter insertion was failed in 9.5% of patients who received CV catheter insertion from left side. In the failure group of CV catheter insertion, the diameter of LBV, the distance between sternum and aorta, and the curving angle of LBV around aorta were signifi-cantly smaller than in the success group. Conclusions: Success rate of CV catheter insertion was associated with LBV stenosis, the distance between sternum and aorta, and the curving angle of LBV around aorta.

The tailoring technique, which involves partial resection of an aneurysm followed by direct suture of the remaining arterial wall, is one of the surgical options for renal artery aneurysm (RAA). We evaluated the short- and long-term outcomes of eight patients who underwent surgery for saccular RAAs using the tailoring technique. Acute kidney injury was postoperatively reported in only one patient, and no patient required hemodialysis. During the long-term follow-up period (mean, 5.3 ± 3.6 years), renal artery stenosis, renal artery occlusion, and RAA recurrence did not occur among the patients. Aneurysmorrhaphy using the tailoring technique is an effective surgical option because of its favorable long-term outcomes. (J
