Abstract

A patient with severe long-standing Takayasu's arteritis underwent successful replacement of the aortic root and ascending aorta with a cryopreserved aortic homograft. Her postoperative course was uneventful and echocardiography demonstrated evidence of neither aortic regurgitation nor graft detachment more than 2 years after the operation. Magnetic resonance image demonstrated no signs of graft enlargement. (Jpn Circ J 1999; 63: 569 - 571)
