Background

Reduction ascending aortoplasty is an alternative procedure to the replacement of the ascending aorta in case of ascending aorta aneurysm without aortic root involvement. This study was designed to evaluate the midterm follow-up of aortoplasty.

Methods

From November 12, 2006, to September 30, 2013, 38 patients (27 male, mean age 59.9 ± 15.8 ys) with dilatation of the ascending aorta underwent reduction aortoplasty in combination with other cardiac procedures. All patients underwent associated surgical procedures (13 aortic valve replacement, 6 aort valve reconstruction, 6 mitral valve replacement, 12 mitral valve reconstruction, 17 coronary artery bypass grafting).
