Frequently Asked Questions

When should ascending aorta be replaced?

The ascending aorta should be replaced when it is dilated to a size greater than 5.5 cm or is growing rapidly, as this increases the risk of aortic dissection or rupture. Additionally, other factors such as family history, connective tissue disorders, or a bicuspid aortic valve may warrant earlier intervention.

What is the survival rate after ascending aortic replacement?

The survival rate after ascending aortic replacement depends on various factors such as the patient’s age, overall health, and the underlying condition that led to the surgery. Generally, the survival rate is around 90% at 5 years and 80% at 10 years post-surgery.

What is the life expectancy for people who have ascending aortic replacement?

The life expectancy for people who have undergone ascending aortic replacement can vary depending on individual factors such as age, health, and underlying conditions. However, studies suggest that the average life expectancy after the procedure is around 25 to 30 years.

What are the restrictions during ascending aortic replacement recovery?

It is important to follow your provider’s recovery instructions after surgery, which may include restrictions on driving, bathing, swimming, heavy lifting, and exercise. These restrictions are put in place to ensure proper healing and prevent complications. Always follow your provider’s instructions and contact them for more clarification if needed.

What lifestyle changes should I make after my surgery?

After surgery, it’s important to make lifestyle changes to reduce future heart problems. These include a heart-healthy diet with low sodium, regular exercise as recommended by your provider, quitting smoking or tobacco products, managing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
