Heavily calcified ascending aorta significantly increased morbidity and lethality during open-heart surgery.

It might be even more beneficial for TEVAR of the ascending aorta.

Objective: Acute dissection of the ascending aorta requires immediate surgical intervention.

Patients in group A underwent replacement of the ascending aorta with hemiarch replacement.

Aortic pressures were measured directly from the ascending aorta by a pressure gauge.

The sinuses and ascending aorta diameter were greater in the elevated LFTs group.

Three months later, he was found to have pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta.

The patient underwent emergency surgical repair with the replacement of the ascending aorta.

And the computed tomography revealed severe calcification of the ascending aorta.

Severe calcification of the ascending aorta and the aortic arch complicates cardiac surgery.

Echocardiography revealed severe aortic regurgitation and enlargement of ascending aorta.

Before repair, the diameters of the ascending aorta and main pulmonary artery were measured.

Doppler flow probes were placed to the ascending aorta and the left pulmonary artery.

A temporary valve was inserted percutaneously into the ascending aorta to prevent aortic regurgitation.

Remaining coronary artery dissection after the replacement of the ascending aorta is very rare.

The stent grafts were implanted in either the proximal descending or the ascending aorta.
