Chronic low-grade systemic inflammation is common to both conditions and is linked to risk factors such as obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes.

Aortic valve disease occurred in 66.9% of cases (n=85) with significant aortic valve regurgitation or stenosis in 127 (52%) and 44 (18%) patients, respectively. Bicuspid aortic valve was found in 29% of patients (n=70). Surgical procedures included aortic root operations (n=88) using Bentall (n=64) or David (n=24) technique, isolated replacement of the ascending aorta (n=73), and combined treatment: replacement of the ascending aorta and the aortic valve (n=82). The 30-day mortality and stroke rate was 0.4%. In 132 patients (54%), extubation occurred within the first 6 h after surgical treatment.
