Conditions

Aneurysmal ascending aorta Aortic distensibility, aortic root, elastic behaviour, echocardiographic images and pressure measurements, biaxial tensile testing.

Interventions

1. After induction of general anesthesia, immediately prior to the cardiac operation, a transesophageal echocardiography is performed in line with central aortic pressure, as measured through an alrea

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Adult patients scheduled for surgical repair of a dilated ascending aorta and/or aortic root and controls, scheduled for non-aortic surgery. Bicuspid aortic valves are not a contra-indication.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Minors or incapacitated adults will not be included in the study. Subjects that do not want to give their informed consent will not be included.
