Abstract
This case report discusses one method of dealing with the extensively calcified aorta in patients undergoing open heart surgery. Profound hypothermia and circulatory arrest was used in a patient undergoing aortic valve replacement with severe calcification of the ascending aorta and transverse arch. This patient recovered from surgery and was discharged from the hospital with no neurologic deficits.Entities:
