ABSTRACT
Ascending aortic aneurysms arising from the native aorta following cardiac transplantation are rare. We report two patients who developed aneurysms of the native ascending aorta requiring surgical repair post-transplantation. Both patients underwent ascending and hemi-arch replacement and recovered uneventfully. Heart transplant patients with pre-existing aortic dilation/ectasia may display more rapid aneurysmal growth compared to non-transplant patients. Therefore close observation is warranted in these patients.
