Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report a patient with bicuspid aortic valve and dilatation of the ascending aorta who had previous aortic valve replacement and reduction aortoplasty with wrapping. After 4 years, reoperation because of coronary artery disease and paravalvular leakage revealed an erosion of the aortic wall due to dislocation of the wrap. This complication confirms the need for secure anchoring and good fitting of the Dacron wrap to avoid alterations of the underlying aortic wall. |
