I had ohs for aortic valve replacement(tissue value) combined with replacement of the ascending aorta and the underside of the aortic arch with a Dacron graft two years ago. My recent echo still indicated dilation for some parts although these sizes are unchanged from the previous study done one year after ohs.
Aortic Annulus: 2.6 cm (2.3-2.7 cm)
Sinuses of Valsalva: 3.94 cm (3.0-3.6 cm) -- dilated
Sinotubular Junction: 3.47 cm (2.6-3.2 cm) -- dilated
Proximal Ascending Aorta: 3.89 cm (2.7-3.5 cm) -- dilated (4.1 cm pre-surgery)
Are measurements outside of the ranges common and okay after the the valve replacement and ascending aorta graft?
