Several congenital heart diseases are associated with aortopathy. Although the etiologies are varied, the histopathologic endpoints are similar, and all may increase the risk of aortic aneurysm, dissection, and rupture.

Can be accomplished via sternotomy or MICS in capable hands. Surgeon should go with the approach they can most reliably achieve this primary goal.
