Abstract:
A 61-year-old male had received aortic valve replacement due to AR in 1987 and the operative findings showed the enlargement of the ascending aorta and maximum diameters of 4cm in the ascending aorta. He had been doing well until 1992 when he sufferred cerebral infarction and aortic root dilatation reached a maximum diameter of 7.5cm demonstrated by CT. Cabrol's operation using the previously replaced aortic valve was carried out because the prosthetic valvular function was normal and the type of coronary arteries was balanced. Postoperative angiography showed good patency at anastomosis of bilateral coronary arterial orifices and he had a satisfactory postoperative course. The dilatation of the ascending aorta over 4cm accompanied with AR may need not only AVR but also aortic root replacement.
