Successful Surgical Intervention for Giant Thoracic Aorta Aneurysm Nine Years after Aortic Valve Repeated Replacement
Abstract
Pregnancy and childbirth are risk factors for the development of aortic aneurysms and dissections even in the absence of predisposing factors. In addition, the risk of aortic dissection increases in women with connective tissue disorders.
We report a case of successful surgical intervention for giant thoracic aortic aneurysm in a postpartum patient who underwent aortic root replacement with repeated aortic valve replacement nine years ago.
