Abstract:
The technique and the results of the external contention of the dilated ascending aorta by the application of an external Dacron graft are reported. This technique, without replacing the usual graft interposition, can efficiently and expeditiously treat borderline dilatation of the ascending aorta, as frequently encountered in aortic valve disease. If the sinotubular junction is not dilated, this technique may stop the aneurysmal evolution of the ascending aorta.
