BACKGROUND: Special consideration may be required for surgical treatment in @entity12040 because @entity32 may cause serious complications such as @entity1713 or dilatation of the residual aorta. We evaluated our surgical outcome of treatment for @entity337 and @entity384 in @entity12040 . METHODS: Between December 1983 and January 2013, 22 cardiac operations were performed in 20 @entity1 with @entity337 due to @entity12040 . Aortic valve replacement was carried out in 6 @entity1 , and aortic root replacement in 16. Of these 16 @entity1 , composite graft replacement was undertaken in 6, composite graft replacement plus coronary artery bypass grafting in 2, composite graft replacement plus total or partial arch replacement in 7, and valve-sparing aortic root replacement with hemiarch replacement in one. RESULTS: The operative mortality (within 30 days) was 4.5% and the 5-year survival rate was 90.9%. Early surgical reintervention was not required in any @entity1 . Neither @entity1713 nor composite graft detachment was noted. Two @entity1 required redo aortic root replacement due to @entity2849 formation and severe @entity337 during follow-up. Late dilatation of the residual thoracoabdominal or abdominal aorta was observed in 2 @entity1 , and both were treated surgically. CONCLUSIONS: The early surgical outcome was acceptable but surgical reintervention was required because of late dilatation of the residual aorta or recurrent @entity337 due to @entity384 , and longstanding careful follow-up will be needed.
