Valve-sparing aortic root replacement and aortic valve repair in a patient with acromegaly and aortic root dilatation

Aortic regurgitation and dilatation of the aortic root and ascending aorta are severe complications of acromegaly. The current trend for management of an aortic root aneurysm is valve-sparing root replacement as well as restoring the diameter of the aortic sinotubular junction (STJ) and annulus. Our...
