Composite aortic root replacement is accepted treatment for aneurysms of the ascending aorta involving the root with aortic valve regurgitation, but controversy continues regarding the best technique of operation. We excise the aneurysm, implant a composite valve graft, directly attach the coronary arteries to the aortic graft, and make the distal anastomosis to the divided aorta.
