Simultaneous aortic valve and descending thoracic aorta replacement through L-shaped sterno-thoracotomy
Abstract
Median sternotomy is known to be an optimal access providing excellent exposure of the root, ascending segment, and aortic arch. However, extended access for optimal visualization is required in case of simultaneous intervention on the descending thoracic aorta.
We present our clinical case of successful simultaneous surgical treatment of aortic valve disease and descending thoracic aortic aneurysm using L-shaped shaped.
