1. Case #1 Bicuspid Valve Dilated Aortic Root Mod AI/Mild AS - RW
RW is a 52 year old male referred for evaluation of ascending aortic aneurysm and bicuspid aortic valve.
Echo and cardiac CTA 8/06 revealed aortic dilation to 5.1cm, moderate aortic insufficiency, and mild aortic stenosis with mean gradient 20mm Hg, AVA 2.1cm2. No evidence of mitral regurgitation. LV EF preserved at 71%. Right heart pressures are normal.
PMH significant for sleep apnea (uses CPAP mask at night), cervical disc disease, bicuspid aortic valve, and hyperlipidemia
Aortic Root: Surgical Annulus 2.8cm Sinus of Valsalva 4.2cm STJ cm Ascending Aorta 5.2cm

17. SP Ross - WJ
11/06
52 year old male status post Ross procedure 5/1997 (Bicuspid valve)
Followed by serial echo which has revealed significant ascending aortic dilation up to 5cm. Confirmed by CT scan. Aortic valve leaflets appeared thin and mobile. Cardiac cath revealed no coronary disease confirmed modest pulmonary stenosis.
Meds: Toprol, Pepcid, ASA
Blood pressure /66 HR 48
Scheduled for Ascending aortic aneurysm repair, assess aortic root/valve intraoperatively with TEE with further intervention as needed.

18. SP Ross - WJ Pre op diagnosis:
Status post Ross procedure nine years ago with presumed dilation of the residual aorta and subsequent autograft with mild insufficiency
Mild pulmonic homograft stenosis
Post op diagnosis
Dilation primarily of the autograft with minimal dilation of the native ascending aorta.
