The cutoff value was an initial ascending aorta diameter of 47.2 mm for the prediction proximal arch re-dilation (area under curve 0.703, p=0.014). Conclusions Aortic wrapping and replacement may be long-term durable treatment options in patients with a moderately enlarged ascending aorta. We ...
1, 5 In patients with aortic regurgitation, more often than not the sinuses are enlarged, the dilatation of the ascending aorta is tubular, the dilatation might extend beyond the origin of the innominate artery, and the aortic wall tends to be thinner and more friable. For these reasons, ...
Biomechanical analysis of wrapping of the moderately dilated ascending aorta. J Cardiothorac Surg. 2015;10:106.Plonek T, Rylski B, Dumanski A, Siedlaczek P, Kustrzycki W. Biomechanical analysis of wrapping of the moderately dilated ascending aorta. J Cardiothorac Surg. 2015;10(1):106. doi...
Although the main portion of the surgery was unremarkable, at its final stage, a rupture of a section of the ascending aorta occurred. The results of intraoperative express histological examination of the enlarged aorta revealed connective tissue dysplasia and cystic median necrosis. Replacement of ...

An enlarged anterior inferior cerebellar artery (small arrowhead) supplies the nidus (white asterisk). Note the size of the normal anterior inferior cerebellar artery on the right (large arrowhead). Early draining veins course superiorly (arrows)....
Conclusions Reduction ascending aortoplasty without external stabilization is a reliable treatment for patients suffering from a moderately enlarged ascending aorta who require cardiac surgery for other indications. In these cases, with the technique described, a redilatation can be prevented and the ...
