[A case of surgical repair in type A aortic dissection with intimal laceration extending into the noncoronary Valsalva sinus].
A 50-year old man who had acute type A aortic dissection, underwent prosthetic graft replacement of the ascending aorta. Intimal laceration of the ascending aorta was extending into the noncoronary Valsalva sinus just near the aortic annulus, but the competency of the aortic valve was preserved. Reconstruction of the noncoronary sinus was achieved by approximating intimal edge with Teflon felt reinforced buttress suture, then the ascending aorta was replaced by a Dacron prosthetic graft. His postoperative recovery was uneventful.
