Surgical exposure by median sternotomy or posterolateral thoracotomy for giant thoracic aortic aneurysms may not be adequate. In these cases, sternotomy-thoracotomy offers better access for the entire thoracic aorta. A sixty-nine-year-old man presented a sudden...
A seventy-year-old man was referred for management of a saccular aneurysm of the distal aortic arch. His history was relevant for smoking, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. He initially presented with a...
Aortic root remodelling with external subaortic annuloplasty (CAVIAAR procedure) enables physiological movements of the aortic cusps within three symmetrically reconstructed neosinuses, thus preserving root expansibility with the interleaflet triangles (1)....

Valve sparing root replacement requires meticulous surgical techniques to restore aortic valve function. Several methods have been used to assess aortic valve competency post reconstruction, including visual inspection, water injection,...
