Abstract

Recurrent aortic insufficiency presents in as many as 20% of patients late after repair of acute type A aortic dissection. This underscores the need for life-long follow up and appropriate management of patients after such surgery. The prevalence of, and risk factors for, recurrent aortic regurgitation, and the indications for and results of medical and surgical treatment are discussed.
