**9. Conclusion**

Thus, when discussing the above problem of cardiology and cardiac surgery, it should be noted that the statistics of detection of aortic malformations have indeed changed over the past decades, in terms of frequency, which come out on the third place after coronary heart disease and hypertension. A particularly large percentage refers to aortic stenosis. Another feature is the change in the etiological factors in the development of aortic heart defects. So, if earlier the rheumatic genesis of the development of aortic malformations prevailed all over the world, now the degenerative nature of the development of aortic malformations is clearly increasing.

The third feature is the change in the social structure of aortic heart disease, i.e. with a noticeable increase in the age of the population, the number of patients over 60 years of age who undergo open correction sharply prevails. It follows from the above that open corrections are also changed. It follows from the above that the principles of diagnosing aortic heart defects have also changed, non-invasive highly informative computer technologies are increasingly being used that help to accurately determine the surgical tactics of treatment and evaluate the results of corrections of aortic heart defects.

The combination of valvular pathology and atherosclerotic lesions of the coronary vessels and the aortic wall sharply increases. Accordingly, the number of simultaneous large reconstructive operations on the valves of the aorta and root, and coronary vessels and others is increasing. It follows from the above that the principles of diagnosing aortic heart defects have also changed, non-invasive highly informative computer technologies are increasingly being used that help to accurately determine the surgical tactics of treatment and evaluate the results of corrections of aortic heart defects. The combination of valvular pathology and atherosclerotic lesions of the coronary vessels and the aortic wall sharply increases.

Accordingly, the number of simultaneous large reconstructive operations on the valves of the aorta and root, and coronary vessels and others is increasing. Open corrections are made. Accordingly, there is a need to revise the approaches to studying the issues of etiology, clinic and diagnostics, determining the tactics of treatment, performing the stages of surgical correction and evaluating the results of the latter in patients with acquired aortic heart disease at the present stage of development of cardiology and cardiac surgery.
