The patient an 85-year-old female resided in a care facility where she maintained an independent daily activity level. She was discovered hunched over a table in her room, displaying reduced responsiveness and prompting an emergency call. Initially, her blood pressure was within 60 mmHg, and she was transported by ambulance to our hospital.

To address this, we use the "reversed turn-up technique." For the reinforcement of the proximal aortic stump, Teflon felt strips were placed inside and outside the suture line with 4-0 polypropylene continuous transverse mattress sutures, and BioGlue was applied to the false lumen.

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most common congenital cardiac anomaly, predisposes individuals to aortic stenosis and regurgitation due to valve degeneration. Abnormal hemodynamics, arterial wall characteristics, and genetic factors contribute to ascending aorta dilatation, potentially leading to severe complications like aortic dissection. Presently, the most recent guidelines propose that individuals with BAV requiring valve replacement due to valve dysfunction should undergo simultaneous replacement of the ascending aorta when the diameter of aortic dilatation exceeds 4.

Versiti Blood Research Institute, Milwaukee, WI (A.R., C.S., S.R.).
Background: Hypertension or elevated blood pressure (BP) is a worldwide clinical challenge and the leading primary risk factor for kidney dysfunctions, heart failure, and cerebrovascular disease. The kidney is a central regulator of BP by maintaining sodium-water balance. Multiple genome-wide association studies revealed that BP is a heritable quantitative trait, modulated by several genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors.
