Calcified aorta poses a significant technical challenge in the performance of surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR). Aortic endarterectomy is a less utilized approach and is suitable in select cases for aortic decalcification during AVR. Here, we report a case of calcified ascending aorta who underwent ascending aortic endarterectomy and AVR with the technical details of the procedure.
钙化主动脉在实施外科主动脉瓣置换术(AVR)时带来了重大的技术挑战。主动脉内膜切除术是一种较少使用的方法,适用于AVR期间主动脉去钙化的特定病例。在此,我们报告一例升主动脉钙化患者,该患者接受了升主动脉内膜切除术和AVR,并介绍了该手术的技术细节。
