Implication

May inform complex aortic surgery planning; leaves open comparative outcome validation before broader adoption.

Structured PICO

Population

Patients with aneurysm of the ascending aorta with aortic valve ectasia where the proximal aortic root is too attenuated to afford anchorage to the aortic prosthesis

Intervention

Complete replacement of the aortic valve and ascending aorta using an en bloc prosthesis (aortic prosthesis sutured to the ring of a Starr valve) with anastomosis of coronary ostia to the side of the prosthesis

This paper describes a foundational surgical technique for combined replacement of the aortic valve and ascending aorta with coronary reimplantation.
