[Aneurysm of the ascending aorta in its coarctation].
In long-term period after resection of aorta coarctation, 9-14% patients developed aortic aneurysms, one third of them localized in the ascending aorta. From 146 patients operated on for aneurysm of the ascending aorta, 3 had aortic coarctation. In 2 patients aneurysms of the ascending aorta formed late after resection of the coarctation, the third patient was hospitalized with clinical picture of cardiac insufficiency at terminal stage due to coarctation of the aorta and a giant aneurysm of the ascending aorta with significant aortic insufficiency. The patients underwent successful surgeries: 1) ascending aorta grafting; 2) aortic valve and ascending aorta grafting by Bentallo de Bono method; 3) aortic valve and ascending aorta grafting by Bentallo de Bono method with bypass of descending aorta from the conduit. Cystic medianecrosis and two-volume aortic valve were revealed in all the patients. It is concluded that patients after surgery for coarctation of the aorta require long-term follow-up to defect cardiovascular complications early.
