Figure 1 Intraoperative view of a 76-year-old female patient with ascending aortic aneurysm and severe aortic insufficiency related to dilatation of sinotubular junction. V-shaped resection (arrows) was performed in each sinus of Valsalva (left) and sinus wall approximated with 5-0 polypropylene running sutures (right). Coronary ostia are marked with arrowheads. The repair was completed by supracoronary ascending replacement with tube corresponding to diameter of neosinotubular junction.
