Features of aneurysm remodeling of the ascending aorta in young patients

Aortic aneurysm remains one of the most common causes of sudden cardiac death, despite the use of screening programs, constant improvement of imaging methods and surgical techniques. Further search for additional factors is required to justify a more aggressive strategy of surgical interventions on the ascending aorta. The data of the analysis of 97 cases of operated aneurysms and aortic dilations in patients under 45 years of age are presented. The severity of aortic root remodeling in aneurysms in patients under 45 years of age depends on the etiology of the disease. An increase in the aortic diameter between the fibrous ring and the sinotubular ridge can help in choosing a surgical intervention. The size of the aortic root at the level of the sinotubular ridge can serve as an independent sign of ascending aorta pathology and progression of aortic insufficiency.
