Key result
Surgical removal of the aneurysmatic aorta and widening of the stenosis with a woven Dacron prosthesis resulted in an uneventful recovery and good health during a one-year follow-up.
Why the study?
Does surgical repair with a Dacron prosthesis improve outcomes in a patient with supravalvular aortic stenosis, ascending aortic aneurysms, and subacute bacterial endocarditis?

Supports feasibility of Dacron repair in supravalvular stenosis with aneurysm and endocarditis; leaves open need for larger confirmatory studies.
Case Report (n=1)
Does surgical repair with a Dacron prosthesis improve outcomes in a patient with supravalvular aortic stenosis, ascending aortic aneurysms, and subacute bacterial endocarditis?
Surgical repair of supravalvular aortic stenosis and ascending aortic aneurysms using a Dacron prosthesis was successful and well-tolerated in a patient with a history of subacute bacterial endocarditis.
Scheinin et al. (1969) conducted a case report in Supravalvular aortic stenosis and multiple aneurysms of the ascending aorta with subacute bacterial endocarditis (n=1). Surgical removal of the aneurysmatic aorta and widening of the stenosis with a woven Dacron prosthesis was evaluated on Recovery and health status. Surgical removal of the aneurysmatic aorta and widening of the stenosis with a woven Dacron prosthesis resulted in an uneventful recovery and good health during a one-year follow-up.
