A Y-incision to enlarge the aortic root for aortic valve stenosis with anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery
BackgroundAnomalous aortic origin of the coronary artery (AAOCA) is a rare congenital heart disease. Therefore, optimal indications for surgery in...

Biventricular repair in low-weight patient with interrupted aortic arch and aortic atresia
BackgroundAortic atresia with ventricular septal defect is a very rare congenital cardiac anomaly, especially in combination with aortic arch...

miR-130a expression is related to aortic dilation in bicuspid aortic valve children
BackgroundBicuspid aortic valve disease (BAV) is present in 0.5–2% of the population and can promote aortic dilation, eventually leading to fatal...

Iatrogenic aortic dissection during aortic root replacement in an older Loeys–Dietz syndrome type III patient with no family history of aortic disease: a case report
BackgroundIatrogenic aortic dissection during cardiac surgery is a rare but critical complication. At present, no strategies have been developed to...

Sub-coronary aortic root replacement post-aortic valve dehiscence: a case report
This is a case report of a 78-year-old male who underwent a sub-coronary aortic valve and root replacement due to valve dehiscence and aortic root...

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement 23 years after heart transplant for aortic insufficiency
BackgroundClinicians continue to expand the availability of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for patients who historically would have...

Aortic valve replacement with Y-incision/rectangular patch aortic annular enlargement
A small aortic root and annulus would need extensive aortic annular enlargement during valve replacement in adult patients to avoid...

Outcomes in patients with aortic stenosis and severely reduced ejection fraction following surgical aortic valve replacement and transcatheter aortic valve replacement
BackgroundPatients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction demonstrate improvement in left ventricular injection...

A case of stent-assisted balloon-induced intimal disruption and relamination of distal remaining aortic dissection after the ascending aorta and aortic arch replacement for acute aortic dissection
BackgroundThe early survival rate of patients with acute type A aortic dissection (TAAD) has improved remarkably over the past two decades. However,...

Association of the bovine aortic arch and bicuspid aortic valve with thoracic aortic disease
BackgroundBoth bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and bovine aortic arch (BA) are considered as markers of thoracic aortic disease (TAD). But the...

Ventricular septal defect associated with aortic regurgitation and ascending aortic aneurysm: a case report
IntroductionVentricular septal defect (VSD) is one of the most common congenital cardiac anomalies. Patients with perimembranous VSD may have aortic...
