Abstract

We report the case of a 54-year-old patient who was admitted to our institution for planned surgical treatment of an ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic valve insufficiency. A decision was made to perform an elective Bentall-de Bono procedure. Constrictive pericarditis was revealed intraoperatively. The Bentall-de Bono procedure and the resection of calcified pericardium were performed successfully.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
