Ascending aortic aneurysm associated with annular dilatation is generally handled by resection and replacement of the aortic root. Such an extensive operation may be avoided by a much simpler surgical intervention, ie, aortoplasty, valve replacement, and aortic wall reinforcement. Such an operation may be performed in cases where the shape of the aneurysm is a relatively regular "pear" or "teardrop" shape and is not extremely large. It also may be applied in cases of aortic stenosis with post-stenotic dilatation. The procedure requires barely more operative time and effort than a "simple" aortic valve replacement.
