Surgical procedures often carry varying risk of post-procedural complications. The Bentall procedure for managing aortic root diseases has known complications including graft infection, pseudoaneurysm of the aorta or coronary arteries, embolisation and coronary insufficiency. The last three complications can cause myocardial infarction, are evaluated with coronary angiography and have been well described in the literature. Surprisingly, none of these possible complications was found in our patient. This case report describes a young Nigerian man with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease seven years after Bentall procedure.

Ascending aortic replacement versus aortic root replacement in patients with type A aortic dissection involving the aortic root.
Ther Adv Cardiovasc Dis
January 2025
Department of Cardiac Surgery, LMU University Hospital, Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich, Germany.
Background: Extensive surgical resection of the thoracic aorta in patients with type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is thought to reduce the risk of late aortic wall degeneration and the need for repeat aortic operations.
Objectives: We evaluated the early and late outcomes after aortic root replacement and supracoronary ascending aortic replacement in patients with TAAD involving the aortic root.
Design: Retrospective, multicenter cohort study.
Valve-sparing versus bio-Bentall aortic root replacement in patients aged 60-75 years: Survival, Reintervention and Aortic Regurgitation.
Ann Thorac Surg
January 2025
Department of Cardiac Surgery, IRCCS Policlinico San Donato, Italy.
Background: Valve-sparing root replacement(VSRR) with the David technique is an established therapy for aortic root pathology in young patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate short and long-term outcomes between VSRR and aortic root replacement(ARR) with a biological-valved conduit in sexagenarians.
Methods: A multicenter retrospective review from 2002-2022 identified 299-sexagenarians undergoing aortic root surgery, among whom 82(27.
Endo-Bentall Repair: Early Results and Feasibility of a Physician-Constructed Endo-Bentall Device.
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Division of Vascular Surgery, University of Maryland School of Medicine.
Objective: We present our experience with endovascular Bentall procedure (Endo-Bentall) using a modular valve conduit (Endo-Bentall) in high-risk patients with aortic root pathologies.
Methods: The physician constructed Endo-Bentall device is composed of a self-expanding transcatheter aortic valve (TAVR), aortic endovascular stent graft (TEVAR), and two wire-reinforced fenestrations for coronary artery stenting. The TAVR valve is sutured into an appropriately sized TEVAR graft.
From Zone -1 to Zone 3: Feasibility and Safety of Complex Endovascular Aortic Repairs in Type A Aortic Dissection.
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
January 2025
University of Maryland School of Medicine, Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery. Electronic address:
Objective: Over 30% of patients presenting with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) are considered high - risk or inoperable. This study aims to investigate the early and mid-term outcomes of complex endovascular aortic repair of aortic root, ascending aorta, and aortic arch among patients with ATAAD.
Methods: From January 2018 to January 2023, 29 patients who were considered high risk for open operation underwent endovascular aortic repair.
Ascending aorta dilatation for pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect: a report of three adult cases.
J Cardiothorac Surg
January 2025
The First Hospital of Tsinghua University, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.
Background: Patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect (PA/VSD) are prone to progressive aortic dilation. However, there are relatively few reports of progressive development of aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection in adult patients who missed early corrective surgery.
Presentation Of Cases: Case 1: A 38-year-old man with PA/VSD and a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), underwent VSD repair, aortic valve replacement, and PA correction at age 21.
