Aortic valve disease is frequently associated with ascending aorta dilatation and can be treated either by separate replacement of the aortic valve and ascending aorta or by a composite valve graft. The type of surgery is depending on the exact location of the aortic dilatation and the concomitant valvular procedures required. The limited evidence for elective aortic surgery in elderly high-risk patient remains challenging and therefore alternative strategies could be warranted. We describe an alternative strategy for the treatment of ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic valve pathology with the use of a sutureless, collapsible, stent mounted aortic valve prosthesis.
