Objective: To assess the midterm follow-up of reduction aortoplasty with external wrapping
associated with aortic valve replacement in high risk patients. Methods: Six patients with …

Objective: Enlargement of the ascending aorta is often combined with valvular, coronary, or
other cardiac diseases. Reduction aortoplasty can be an optional therapy; however …

BACKGROUND: Reduction ascending aortoplasty is an alternative procedure to the
replacement of the ascending aorta in case of ascending aorta aneurysm without aortic root …

Background The reduction ascending aortoplasty in patients with an aortic ectasia/dilatation
is a common procedure during concomitant cardiac operations. Aim of the follow up study …

Background: Previous studies have advocated reduction aortoplasty to normalize the
diameter of a moderately dilated ascending aorta associated with aortic valve disease. One …

Objective The study objective was to examine the long-term fate of aortic diameter
expansion at 4 cardiac regions (annulus, sinus, ascending aorta, and proximal arch) after …

BACKGROUND: Replacement of the ascending aorta with a prosthetic graft is the preferred
surgical procedure for an ascending aortic aneurysm. The choice of external wrapping of the …

Objective The aim of this study is to assess mid‐term outcomes of reduction aortoplasty and
wrapping technique which is an alternative method to replacement of the aorta in ascending …

We present early results and long-term follow-up after reduction aortoplasty with external
wrapping of the ascending aorta. From December 1993 to February 2008, 32 consecutive …

Objectives The optimal management of dilated ascending aorta during aortic valve
replacement (AVR) remains controversial. This study compared the outcomes among 3 …
