[A different approach in the treatment of aneurysms of the ascending aorta (author's transl)].
A safe method in therapy of the ascending aortic aneurysm by partial resection and reconstruction combined with reinforcement by a nylon net is described. Seven patients were operated upon without hospital mortality. Early operation is recommended, when there is only slight aortic insufficiency. In such a situation it is possible to reinforce the ascending aorta without ECC, to stabilize the progress of widening the ascending aorta and the aortic root.
