Abstract
Objective: The study objective was to examine the long-term fate of aortic diameter expansion at 4 cardiac regions (annulus, sinus, ascending aorta, and proximal arch) after wrapping or replacement during aortic valve surgery of the moderately dilated ascending aorta.

Methods: From January 1995 to December 2018, 964 consecutive patients who underwent aortic valve replacement at our institution were reviewed. Of them, 204 (mean age, 60.7 ± 7.4 years) underwent ascending aorta wrapping (n = 96) or replacement (n = 108) for a moderately dilated ascending aorta (40 to 55 mm). The overall fate of the aortic diameter was analyzed with a linear mixed-effect model. The median follow-up duration was 7.1 years.

Results: After propensity score matching, the baseline maximal ascending aortic diameter median value was 47.3 ± 3.1 mm and 49.4 ± 13.5 mm in the wrapping and replacement groups, respectively. The annulus, sinus, and ascending aorta did not redilate in either group. The proximal aortic arch diameter significantly increased over time (0.343 mm/year; P = .006) in the wrapping group but not in the replacement group (0.066 mm/year; P = .649). Multivariable competing risk analysis identified the initial ascending aorta diameter at the wrapping procedure as an independent risk factor of proximal arch redilation (0.071 ± 0.037, P < .001). The cutoff value was an initial ascending aorta diameter of 47.2 mm for the prediction proximal arch redilation (area under the curve, 0.703; P = .014).

Conclusions: Aortic wrapping and replacement may be long-term durable treatment options in patients with a moderately enlarged ascending aorta. We suggest careful evaluation of redilation in the proximal arch after an aorta wrapping procedure.
