Abstract

BACKGROUND: Aortic root and ascending aortic aneurysms are traditionally surgically treated through the deployment of a conduit with an artificial aortic valve, which significantly increases the risk of postoperative complications in the form of thrombosis.

MATERIALS & METHODS: We report a case of Wolfe procedure in a 78-year-old female patient with aortic root aneurysm at high risk for conventional Bentall surgery.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: We use this case to discuss the effectiveness and short-term results of this procedure.
