Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Rationale:

Aortic diameter is currently used as a gold standard in international guidelines for prediction of aorta pathology (aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection). However, aortic diameter has proven to be insufficiently accurate for making decisions about well-timed preventive interventions. The LANDMARC study will take place in line with the FIBAA-bank ('Correlatie tussen cardiovasculaire FIBroseringsgraad en Aorta elongatie, dilatatie en Atria dilatatie (FIBAA-bank): een biobank \& databank onderzoek met focus op aorta en atria' (METC-number 2022-3164)), and aims to reveal the undiscovered relationship between WSS (wall shear stress) values and aortic strain. In combination with data from the FIBAA-bank, the LANDMARC study will provide more accurate information for future risk stratification models for cardiovascular pathology (with focus on aortic disease).

Objectives:

Primary objective: indication of the association between WSS (peak WSS and WSS gradient) (through 4D-flow MR and CT) and aortic strain.

Secondary objective: indication of the association between (hemo)dynamic processes within the body (aortic elongation/aortic strain) and (patho-)physiological changes (degree of cardiovascular tissue fibrosis).

Interventions

4D-flow MR & CT-scan

4D-flow MR and CT-scan after cardiac surgery (until 12 months afterwards), for the purpose of obtaining more precise data on (hemo)dynamic processes within the cardiovascular system, in combination with data extraction from the established biobank and databank (FIBAA-bank).
