The aim of this study was to define the echocardiographic criteria for identifying suitable candidates for ascending aortic aneurysm repair that spares the aortic valve. We also examined the perioperative and intermediate-term results of this innovative procedure.Fifteen patients underwent ascending aortic ...
Immer and coworkers49 studied 73 patients who met the criteria for RAA but underwent ascending aortic graft replacement instead. The hospital's mortality was 9.6%, the late mortality was 4%, and neurologic complications occurred in 6.7% of the patients. Elefteriades3 found the risk of surgical...
Surgical repair of known aortic aneurysms and other valvular and aortic conditions meeting certain criteria is recommended prior to pregnancy (which had been also recommended to our patient in the second case), with surgery during pregnancy considered only when conservative treatment fails to control ao...

ascending aortic arch repair with DHCA. Exclusion criteria included patients with American Society of Anesthesia class V or E status, known coagulation disor- der, anemia (hemoglobin < 11 mg/dL), intraaortic balloon pump or other ventricular assist devices, end-stage renal disease dependent on he...
Objectives: Rupture/dissection of ascending thoracic aneurysms (aTAA) carries a high mortality and occurs in many patients who had not met size criteria for elective surgical repair. Wall stress may be a better predictor than size for adverse events, but cannot be directly measured in vivo, ...
The exclusion criteria were: the presence of bicuspid aortic valve, previous aortic valve and/or ascending aortic surgery, genetic syndromes (Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and others), and inflammatory and traumatic diseases. Thus, 1305 patients were considered eligible for the study.Agricola...
2.3. Aortic specimens and histopathological and immunohistochemical assays Aorta samples from AAA individuals selected in our study were collected, obtained, and analyzed according to procedures, criteria, definitions, and grading systems for tissue sample collection, staining, histopathological and immunohistoc...
