[Annuloaortic ectasia: report of a case].
The authors describe a case of a patient with annuloaortic ectasia (AAE) and severe aortic regurgitation. The diagnostic was made by angiography. He was submitted to a Bentall's procedure; replacement of the ascending aorta by a conduit and of aortic valve by a mechanical prosthesis with reimplantation of coronary arteries into the conduit. The only complication was atrial fibrillation with fast ventricular response. Nowadays he is clinically well, in NYHA class I. The authors make some considerations about AAE, its surgical treatment and its results.
