Ascending aortic replacement with aortic valve reimplantation.
BACKGROUND Reimplantation of the native, structurally intact aortic valve within a Dacron tube graft in patients with aortic root aneurysms corrects annular ectasia and dilatation of the sinotubular junction. The durability of this valve repair with respect to the increased mechanical stress on valve cusps has been discussed, is quite controversial, and is yet unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Fro...
متن کاملTotal arch replacement for distal enlargement after ascending aortic replacement for acute type A aortic dissection.
OBJECTIVE Distal reoperations for aortic dissection are associated with high morbidity rates. We describe distal aortic enlargement that was treated using our surgical strategy. PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 1997 to April 2008, 63 patients underwent ascending aortic replacement for acute type A aortic dissection. Four patients (7.4%; 3 males, 1 female; mean age, 67.8 +/- 4.6 years) requir...
متن کاملStability of ascending aortic dilatation following aortic valve replacement.
BACKGROUND Replacement of the ascending aorta (Asc Ao) at the time of aortic valve replacement (AVR) is controversial because the risk of progressive dilatation following valve replacement is uncertain. Our aim was to determine the natural history of ascending aortic dilatation following AVR. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 185 patients undergoing AVR at our institution between 1992 and 1999. ...
متن کاملCurrent Indications for Surgical Repair in Patients with Bicuspid Aortic Valve and Ascending Aortic Ectasia
Preventive surgical repair of the moderately dilated ascending aorta/aortic root in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is controversial. Most international reference centers are currently proposing a proactive approach for BAV patients with a maximum ascending aortic/root diameter of 45 mm since the risk of dissection/rupture raises significantly with an aneurysm diameter >50 mm. Current...
متن کاملPseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta after aortic valve replacement.
A 58-year-old man with fever and chest wall tenderness was seen 8 weeks after aortic valve replacement. His initial postoperative course had been complicated by mediastinitis, requiring antibiotics and surgical debridement. A transthoracic echocardiogram did not reveal the culprit lesion. Pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta was suspected, based on computerized tomographic and magnetic resonan...
