Aortic involvement in chronic atrophic polychondritis
2018, Revue du Rhumatisme (Edition Francaise)Aortic involvement in relapsing polychondritis
2018, Joint Bone SpineCitation Excerpt :Case reports have described patients with RP-related aortic aneurysm/dissection who underwent surgical procedures. Indeed, among 40 RP patients with aortic involvement, who underwent surgical aortic procedures, 3 patients (7.5%) died peri-operatively and 10 patients (25%) exhibited relapses of aortic localizations within a median time of 7 months [range: 2–24 months] after surgical procedures [2–8,10,11,14,15,17,18,20,22,23,27,29–33,35–37,39]. In the present study, we have interestingly found that vascular complications were less frequent in RP patients without biological inflammatory syndrome at time of aortic surgery; thus, we suggest that aortic surgical procedures should be performed when RP is inactive.
Diagnosis and classification of relapsing polychondritis
2014, Journal of AutoimmunityCitation Excerpt :However, cusp rupture with normal aortic root has also been reported [52]. Aortic aneurysms occur frequently in RP, may be multiple and involve all parts of the aorta, even resulting in fatal rupture in asymptomatic patients [53]. Furthermore, several cases of atrioventricular block, comprising complete heart block, mitral regurgitation, obstructive lesions, acute pericarditis, myocarditis, and silent myocardial infarction have been reported [5,26,50,54,55].

2002, Mayo Clinic ProceedingsCitation Excerpt :Multiple aneurysms along the entire length of the aorta can also occur, as seen in our patient. Involvement of the ascending aorta can produce dilatation and aortic regurgitation, and aneurysm rupture or dissection may lead to sudden death.8,10 An overlap with other vasculitides, including Behçet syndrome, giant cell arteritis, and Takayasu arteritis, has been reported.1
