Abstract
Ascending aortic aneurysm following aortico–left ventricular tunnel (ALVT) repair is an uncommon but life-threatening complication. A 27-year-old man had received patch closure for ALVT at infancy. Eighteen years later, aortic valve replacement for severe aortic regurgitation and direct suture for recurrent slit tunnel were performed. Another 9 years later, ascending aortic replacement was performed because of ascending aortic aneurysm. Thus we report an uncommon case of ascending aortic aneurysm 27 years after the repair of an ALVT.
