Cabrol technique is one of the modified Bentall procedures. However, it has become nearly obsolete over the years because of reports of stenosis, thrombosis, and occlusion of the interposed graft. A 76-year-old man, who had undergone Cabrol technique 28 years before, presented with worsening exertional dyspnea and, was diagnosed with mitral valve regurgitation and tricuspid valve regurgitation. Preoperative angiography revealed stenosis of the right limb of the interposed artificial graft, and he underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in addition to mitral valve replacement (MVR) and tricuspid annuloplasty (TAP). Patients who underwent procedures such as Cabrol technique and Piehler technique using interposed artificial grafts reconstructing coronary arteries, should be regularly checked with imaging examinations.
