Abstract:
A 58-year-old man underwent aortic root replacement for annuloaortic ectasia (AAE) and aortic regurgitation (AR). The patient was readmitted because of chest discomfort 3 months after the first operation. Computed tomography showed a pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta. Re-aortic root replacement was done on an emergency basis. However, 16 days after the second operation, a pseudoaneurysm was revealed by computed tomography. The third operation was successfully performed using a rif ampicin-bonded gelatin-sealed Dacron graft (GELSEAL®; Sulzer Vascutek, Glasgow, UK). The postoperative course was uneventful.
