About this trial
The aim of the study is to analyse the resected portion of aneurysmatic ascending aorta in order to assess its strength to rupture, standardise the various measurements performed within the lab and try to correlate these qualitative results with quantitative results (regarding aortic diameter, valve morphology and aortic wall thickness).
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients undergoing cardiac surgery for either aortic root and/or ascending aortic aneurysms; • Patients that have received, understood and signed the written informed consent for this study.
Disqualifiers
Patients that have already undergone previous cardiac surgery; • Patients that present with acute aortic pathologies, such as acute aortic dissection or intramural hematoma.
