[Surgery of aneurysm of the thoracic aorta. Operative results in 47 cases (author's transl)].
The authors report personal experience of surgical treatment of 47 aneurysms of the thoracic aorta, showing that the symptoms, the etiology, the treatment and the prognosis are variable depending on the site of the aneurysm. One may note regression of syphilis as a cause and an increase in the number of degenerative and traumatic aneurysms. In aneurysms of the ascending aorta, total replacement of the ascending aorta with reimplantation of the coronary arteries, according to a simplified technic, seems to give the best immediate and long term results.
