Failure properties of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms with dysfunctional tricuspid aortic valves.

Published in: Interactive cardiovascular and thoracic surgery (2021)

The aortic wall load-bearing capacity was impaired in patients with ATAA in the presence of TAV stenosis or insufficiency. These findings lend biomechanical support to the current guidelines suggesting lower thresholds for elective ascending aorta replacement in cases of aortic valve surgery.
