Surgical Treatment : Valve-Sparing Aortic Root Replacement |
| |
In patients whose aneurysm involves the aortic root but whose aortic valve is normal, the valve can be saved using this procedure. The ascending aorta and coronary arteries are removed just above the aortic valve and a graft is attached at this level. The coronary arteries are then re-attached to the aortic graft. |
