The analysis of early treatment results in 255 patients with ascending aorta dilatation from 40 to 55 mm in diameter and aortic valve diseases was performed. 93 patients underwent aortic valve replacement and wrapping of the ascending aorta, 107 patients underwent aortic valve and ascending aorta replacement, 55 patients underwent isolated aortic valve replacement. When performed wrapping, compared with ascending aorta replacement, there was a shorter time of myocardial ischemia and cardiopulmonary bypass, a lower incidence of postoperative bleeding and resternotomy. Ascending aorta wrapping, in addition to reinforcement of the ascending aorta wall, led to a decrease in its average diameter from 45.47 ± 2.96 mm to 36.25 ± 4.08 mm. There were no specific complications of the wrapping method, such as wrap dislocation, kinking, redilatation, aortic dissection. The wrapping method showed a low level of cardiovascular complications and hospital mortality.
