Ascending aortic diseases like aneurysm and dissection are common. Surgical graft replacement offers good outcomes, but complex cases involving the aortic root or arch require specialized techniques and prosthesis selection.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Aortic Disease

Background:

  • Aneurysm and dissection are common ascending aorta diseases.
  • Graft replacement of the ascending aorta is a standard procedure with good outcomes.
  • Complex cases involving the aortic sinuses or arch present management challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review management strategies for ascending aorta diseases.
  • To discuss prosthesis selection for aortic root replacement.
  • To evaluate valve-sparing procedures and the Ross procedure in specific contexts.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and surgical techniques for ascending aorta pathologies.
  • Discussion of patient and procedure variables influencing prosthesis choice.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of outcomes for different surgical approaches, including valve-sparing and Ross procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • Ascending aorta graft replacement yields excellent early and late results.
    • Complex aortic pathologies may necessitate aortic root/arch replacement using hypothermic circulatory arrest.
    • Valve-sparing procedures offer long-term benefits when aortic valve leaflets are normal.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimal aortic root prosthesis selection is patient- and procedure-dependent.
    • Valve-sparing procedures are advantageous for suitable patients.
    • The Ross procedure may be considered for select patients with combined aortic valve and ascending aorta disease, excluding those with connective tissue disorders.
