Another reason for this preference was that the distal end of this tubular graft could be selected as 10 mm instead of 16 mm, meaning that chimney graft would occupy less area in the
ascending aorta and could attach to the brachiocephalic artery at proximal.
The cannula in the
ascending aorta was removed and the aorta repaired with 3-0 silk purse-string sutures.
(1) In one-third of patients, BAV is associated with significant valvular disease (aortic stenosis and regurgitation), aortic root,
ascending aorta, and arch complications (dilatation and/or aneurysm of the aortic root,
ascending aorta).
At 52 weeks, there was no significant change in target to background ratio from the
ascending aorta between baseline and the start of adalimumab, although in the carotid arteries, there was a modest increase in vascular inflammation.
PAT was obtained from the area surrounding the
ascending aorta, and SAT was removed from the area of the sternotomy incision.
Surgery in the index group more often included replacement of the aortic valve,
ascending aorta, or (partial) aortic arch (Table 3).

(b) Axial double inversion recovery sequence demonstrates mural thickening of the
ascending aorta which measures 3.4 cm in diameter.

The yellow arrow points at a localized anterior wall disruption on
ascending aorta, at the site of aortic punching.
