Aortic Root Replacement Surgery for Ascending Aortic Aneurysm

Sample Opinion // Aortic Root Replacement Surgery // Ascending Aortic Aneurysm // Treatment in India

The doctor has gone through the reports forward to us, according to reports patient has been diagnosed with Ascending Aortic Aneurysm.

An Ascending Aortic Aneurysm is a dangerous, often silent ballooning of the aorta closest to the heart. It risks life-threatening tears or rupture.

Evaluations: 

We need to clinically access the patient before giving a final line of treatment. He needs to undergo detailed clinical and physical evaluation including such as ECG, ECHO, Coronary Angiography, blood tests, etc to confirm diagnosis and treatment plan.

Possible Treatment: 

Final treatment plan will be decided after investigations only. However, patient may require Aortic Root Replacement Surgery.

Aortic Root Replacement Surgery is a complex surgical procedure to treat dilation or aortic enlargement (aneurysm) of a section of the large blood vessel that carries blood from your heart to your vital organs (aorta). The aortic root is located near the junction of your aorta and your heart.

Doctors perform Aortic Root Surgery to prevent an Aneurysm rupture or a tear in the inner layer of the wall of the dilated aorta (aortic dissection), and to prevent the dilated aorta from stretching the attached aortic valve.

During aortic root operations, the aortic valve may be repaired or replaced, depending on its appearance. Many aortic aneurysm surgeries can be performed with minimally invasive methods. Compared to traditional surgery, minimally invasive approaches may be associated with reduced pain, less scarring, and shorter recovery time. Most aneurysms of the aortic root can be done through skin incisions of approximately 5cm, although we never compromise a patient’s safety to achieve a cosmetic result.
