Gross aortic root dilation in a young woman with acromegaly.

Andrew Wiper1, M Eisenberger, A McPartlin, M El-Omar.   

Abstract

Mild aortic root dilation is relatively common in patients with acromegaly and does not usually require surgical intervention. A case involving a 27-year-old acromegalic woman who presented with heart failure and gross aortic root dilation that was successfully treated with a composite aortic graft prosthesis is described.
