Objective: A modified Bentall procedure with a Carrel patch and inclusion technique (Modified Bentall Procedure) has been used to treat combined disease of the aortic valve and aortic root. The current study examined the outcomes of this surgical technique.
Materials And Methods: Between April 1999 and March 2009, 16 patients (10 males, 6 females; 63.3 ± 9.4 years) underwent elective surgery involving the Modified Bentall Procedure and no additional surgery, so they were included in the study.
Results: The mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was 140.2 ± 34.4 min (range: 97-232 min), and aortic cross-clamp time was 97.3 ± 16.6 min (range: 76-132 min). There were no hospital deaths. No patients required additional surgery to correct excessive bleeding. The follow-up rate was 100% (16/16). The mean follow-up period was 5.6 ± 2.8 years (range: 0.7-9.9 years). One of the 16 patients died (6.3%) due to lung cancer, and 1 of the 15 surviving patients required additional surgery (6.7%) for a thoracic aortic aneurysm. Kaplan-Meier analysis found that 1-year and 5-year survival and event-free survival rates were all 100%.
Conclusions: The Modified Bentall Procedure provided satisfactory results over both the short term and long term.

We present a case of an 82-year-old woman who developed sustained heart failure with left ventricular dyssynchrony after the modified Bentall procedure. Persistent circulatory instability and complete atrioventricular block suggested coronary artery stenosis. Multidetector computed tomography revealed stenosis of the grafted portion of the coronary artery.

Six months following modified Bentall procedure a patient presented with angina and acute ST depression. CT coronary angiogram revealed severe narrowing of the left main coronary artery. Minimal invasive off pump coronary artery bypass grafting avoided complex reoperative surgery and delivered an excellent clinical outcome.

Aims: Sirolimus (SRL) mitigates cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) progression and confers renal protection after heart transplantation (HT). However, its safety and efficacy in patients undergoing combined heart and kidney transplantation (HKT) are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of conversion from calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) to SRL on CAV progression, renal function, and outcomes in HKT compared to isolated HT.

Article Synopsis
- The BeSPoKE technique is a surgical method used to enlarge the aortic outflow tract in adults with complex heart issues, specifically those facing aortic stenosis and prosthesis-patient mismatch.
- A study involving 25 adults showed significant improvement in aortic valve gradients post-surgery, with a median size increase of the prosthesis and no reports of operative mortality.
- Postoperative complications included atrial fibrillation and heart block, but overall survival at two years was high at 92%, indicating that this technique is a safe and effective option for patients with small left ventricular outflow tracts.

Objective: Reoperation after aortic root replacement (ARR) is associated with increased operative risk and complexity. This study evaluated clinical outcomes and reoperation rates in patients undergoing ARR.
Methods: From 2004 to 2021, 2700 adult patients underwent an ARR in a 2-institution database.
