Syphilitic Ascending Aortic Aneurysm - A Case Report -

매독성 상행 대동맥류 수술치

The incidence of syphilitic aortic aneurysm was decreased now a day. We experienced a case of huge syphilitic ascending aortic aneurysm from just above portion of aortic annulus to about 1 cm below innominate artery without aortic insufficiency. Surgical correction was done by replacement of ascending aorta with woven Dacron graft under cardiopulmonary bypass. Postoperative course was uneventful and discharged 15 days after surgery with good condition.
