Abstract

The selection of an appropriate surgical technique for repair of aneurysm of the ascending aortia with aortic insufficiency is unsettled. The etiology of the disease process has been the best indicator for the type of repair. Placement of a supracoronary graft[seperate graft and valve] is a compromise if the coronary ostia are displaced cephalad by the aneurysm, where as insertion of a valved conduit is difficult and unnecessary if the coronary ostia are normally placed. A 53 year old female patient underwent primary repaiar of proximal dissected layer and aortic valve replacement with 24mm carbomedics, The operative findings consisted of a supravalvular intimal tear, cicumferential dissection, dilated aortic annulus and normal position of coronary ostia. She is good physical activity now llmonths posoperatively.
