    Abstract:
    15 patients with aneurysm of ascending aorta associated with aortic valve incompetence has been treated by the replacement of the aortic valve and ascending aorta with reimplantation of the right coronary artery in 8 patients and both coronary arteries in 7. The operative mortality was 13% (2 patients). The follow up interval ranged from 6 months to three years (mean 20 months) and in all 13 patients there was an improving of functional class. A post-operative angiography was performed in 6 patients and in all of them was demonstrated the patency of the neoostia, a minimum paravalvular leak in one patient, and a pseudoaneurysm in another one. Proving the necessity of complete replacement of aneurysmal aorta, the Authors discuss the technique adopted with particular reference to the problem of reimplantation of the coronary arteries.
