Background: Aortic root and ascending aortic aneurysms are traditionally surgically treated through the deployment of a conduit with an artificial aortic valve, which significantly increases the risk of postoperative complications in the form of thrombosis.
Materials & methods: We report a case of Wolfe procedure in a 78-year-old female patient with aortic root aneurysm at high risk for conventional Bentall surgery.
Discussion and conclusion: We use this case to discuss the effectiveness and short-term results of this procedure.
Keywords: Wolfe procedure; aortic aneurysm; ascending aorta; noncoronary sinus.
