Enlargement of the ascending aorta associated with dystrophic aortic incompetence frequently progresses to aneurysm and its complications. This potential course can be prevented by using a simple technique including insertion of a Mersuture net covering the entire ascending aorta, associated with local application of gelatin-resorcin-formalin glue.
