Surgery of Marfan's syndrome and related conditions of the aortic root (annulo-aortic ectasia).
As early as 1896, Marfan's syndrome had become a disease entity of interest to the clinician (Marfan, 1896) and, following the description of Erdheim in 1930 (Erdheim, 1930), it became important for the pathologist. Several reports followed relating cardiovascular pathology to Marfan's syndrome (Baer, Taussig, and Oppenheimer, 1943; Schorr, Braun, and Wildman, 1951 ; Sloper and Storey, 1953; Ma...
متن کاملRecurrent aortic regurgitation after valve-sparing aortic root replacement due to dilatation of a previously implanted Valsalva graft.
Valve-sparing aortic root replacement (David reimplantation) has been recently used for treating annulo-aortic ectasia (AAE), and is associated with excellent survival and a low risk of late aortic valve replacement (AVR). However, the associated long-term durability of the repair remains uncertain because of the complexity of the aortic root and valve function. Previous studies have reported t...
متن کاملAortic valve reconstruction associated to ascending aorta tubular graft replacement in aortic incompetence by annuloaortic ectasia.
OBJECTIVE Aortic valve incompetence associated with severe aortic ectasia is usually treated by aortic valve and ascending aorta replacement. In cases of isolated aortic ectasia or in Type A aortic dissection the valve is often normal and the incompetence is just due to annular dilatation. Such conditions lead to the application of various valve-sparing surgical techniques, as described by Senn...
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 کاملCoronary artery ectasia with annuloaortic ectasia.
A 50-year-old Japanese woman with annuloaortic ectasia was found to have total coronary artery ectasia without evident atherosclerosis. The coronary ectasia may have been secondary to or of similar etiology to the annuloaortic ectasia. There was neither stigmata of Marfan's syndrome nor any sign of dissection of the ascending aorta or coronary arteries. Furthermore, the patient was not elderly,...
