How do they fix a dilating aortic root safely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery: Open heart surgery is the preferred method. There are criteria for when ascending aorta aneurysms should be operated on that can vary depending upon other factors (e.g. Bicuspid aortic valve, etc.). Talk to a cardiac surgeon.
