Bentall procedure is performed for the repair of ascending aortic root lesions. Typically the native aortic root and aortic valve are replaced with a composite graft that comprises both ascending aortic and aortic valve grafts, to which the coronary arteries are anastomosed.
Complications post procedure
Recognized complications include
- formation of dissecting aneurysm 8
- mediastinal peri-aortic collections
- coronary arterial complications
- formation of a ventricular septal defect as part of aortic valve replacement
- endocarditis at the level of the valve
- mycotic pseudoaneurysms
History and etymology
It was originally introduced was by H Bentall and A De Bono in 1968 4. Since then, there have been several modifications to the procedure.
