A Case of Successful Cardiac Surgery in a Patient with Undiagnosed Acromegaly. South Russian Journal of Therapeutic Practice

Acromegaly is a severe, chronic neuroendocrine disorder, most commonly occurring in adults, characterized by excess growth hormone (GH) and subsequent elevated insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels. Cardiovascular complications are considered the most common complications in patients with acromegaly, negatively impacting quality of life and prognosis. This article presents a case of aneurysmal aortic dilation with severe aortic regurgitation in a patient with acromegaly. The patient underwent a successful Bentall procedure (aortic and aortic valve replacement), and 6 months after cardiac surgery, transsphenoidal adenomectomy was performed without complications.
