Abstract
An ascending aortic aneurysm is a permanent dilatation in that artery region. Their
natural history depends on their size and the weakness of the arterial wall. The
surgical indication is defined based on the risk of rupture.
A retrospective analysis of the surgically treated cases in our department considers
the surgical technique and postoperative complications.
