- Abstract
- A mild-to-moderate aortic root aneurysm might be overlooked during the assessment of the donor heart. The use of the Z-score in such cases may be helpful in guiding clinical decision-making. To make a diagnosis of genetic aortopathy, a genetic panel study and matching with clinical criteria such as Ghent nosology are essential. Valve-sparing root reimplantation may be a viable option in cases with aortic root aneurysm developing after heart transplant.
