Aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva with coronary atherosclerosis: successful surgical correction.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Although weight loss following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is acceptable in patients with preoperative body mass index (BMI) between 35 and 50 kg/m, results from several series demonstrate that failure rates approach 40% when BMI is > or =50 kg/m. Here we report the first large single institution series directl...
