We study here the surgical results of chronic dissection involving the ascending aorta over the last 20 years. Patients with previous cardiac surgery, or proximal aortic repair, were excluded. The patients survived an acute dissection, undiagnosed as pauci- or asymptomatic. The aorta was normal or pathological (atheromatous aneurysm in 15 cases, Marfan's disease in 12 cases, and annuloectasic disease in 18 cases). Two patients had a bicuspid aortic valve.
