|
| 4. | In those instances replacement of the ascending aorta ( so-called tubular aorta ) is sufficient.
|
| 5. | Pathology of the aortic valve, aortic root and ascending aorta are treated with the Bentall procedure.
|
| 6. | A septum begins to form between what will later become the ascending aorta and pulmonary tract.
|
| 7. | Type 2 refers to dissection of the ascending aorta, closer to and including the aortic arch.
|
| 8. | It usually then travels in front of the ascending aorta and then ends in a brachiocephalic node.
|
| 9. | Aneurysms in the ascending aorta may require surgery at a smaller size than aneurysms in the descending aorta.
|
| 10. | Type 1 encompasses dissection in the distal ascending aorta closest to the heart, not including the aortic arch.
