Short\u2013long aortic stenosis was achieved by wrapping a prosthetic graft around the aorta to 1\/3-circumference reduction, over a segment length of 1\u2009cm (CoA suture stenosis, n\u2009=\u20095) and 4.5\u2009cm (stent stenosis, n\u2009=\u20096). After 3\u2009months, aortic pressure-flow haemodynamics, aortic distensibility by intravascular ultrasound and left ventricular performance by pressure\u2013volume loops were compared to a Sham group (n\u2009=\u20095) at baseline and during dobutamine administration.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The aortic impedance increased with 30.3 (12.6%) and 41.3 (20.9%) (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) in CoA stenosis and stent stenosis during inotropic response. Impaired haemodynamic aortic compliance was associated with lower aortic distensibility by intravascular ultrasound, specifically in long-segment stenosis. The ventriculo-arterial coupling was disturbed in both groups with stenosis, with blunted contractile response [Sham 140.3 (19.8%), CoA suture 101.3 (14.5%), CoA suture stenosis 75.0 (8.4%), stent 115.5 (12.7%), stent stenosis 55.1 (14.6%), P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001] and increased myocardial stiffness during dobutamine in the long-segment aortic stenosis group [Sham \u221226.0 (12.9%), CoA suture \u221227.5 (15.9%), CoA stenosis \u22129.5 (8.6%), stent \u221223.4 (4.8%), stent stenosis 19.9 (23.1%), P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001].<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This animal study on the sequelae of coarctation repair demonstrated that aortic stiffness had little effect on aortic pressure-flow characteristics in the absence of stenosis. However, the negative chronic effect of stenosis on aortic haemodynamics\u2014especially a longer segment\u2014leads to the rapid impairment of ventriculo-arterial interaction, which is accentuated by inotropy. Therefore, therapeutical management needs to focus on improving aortic remodelling after coarctation repair, preferably by minimizing residual stenosis, even at the cost of inducing aortic stiffness.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ejcts\/ezaa241","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,12]],"date-time":"2020-06-12T11:13:49Z","timestamp":1591960429000},"page":"1206-1215","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Effect of aortic stiffness versus stenosis on ventriculo-arterial interaction in an experimental model of coarctation repair"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Joseph","family":"Panzer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Experimental Research Laboratory of Cardiac Surgery and Circulatory Physiology, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Pediatric Cardiology, University Hospital Ghent, Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7113-4565","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filip","family":"De Somer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Experimental Research Laboratory of Cardiac Surgery and Circulatory Physiology, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Cardiac Surgery, University Hospital Ghent, Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3870-3409","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patrick","family":"Segers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBiTech-bioMMeda, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0846-8914","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"De Wolf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Cardiology, University Hospital Ghent, Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3786-0699","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thierry","family":"Bove","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Experimental Research Laboratory of Cardiac Surgery and Circulatory Physiology, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Cardiac Surgery, University Hospital Ghent, Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020112808165170200_ezaa241-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"840","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.80.4.840","article-title":"Coarctation of the aorta.
