Combination of Modified Bentall Procedure and Orthotopic Liver Transplantation

Modified bio-Bentall procedure: 10-year experience.

OBJECTIVE Biological aortic valve conduits are rarely used because of the concern that possible structural valve deterioration would require complete conduit replacement in a technically demanding operation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the 10-year experience with complete aortic-root replacement using a modified composite graft in which biological valve prosthesis was located inside th...

Orthotopic Liver Transplantation

A 7-year-old girl with progressive ataxia, spasticity, supranuclear ophthalmoplegia, and sea-blue histiocytes in her bone marrow underwent orthotopic liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma. After an initial period of stabilization, she has shown progression of neurologic symptoms with recurrence of storage material in the transplanted liver. Pediatrics 1986;77:104-106; lipidosis, se...

New modification of modified bentall procedure (A single centre experience)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Modified Bentall procedure has become a gold standard in the treatment of combined aortic root and aortic valve diseases. Bleeding is an important predictor of morbidity and mortality after the Bentall operation. Our objective was to evaluate the early outcomes of Modified Button-Bentall procedure with cuff technique for aortic root replacement surgery regarding hemost...

Techniques of orthotopic liver transplantation.

BACKGROUND Throughout the history of liver transplantation many improvements have been made in the field of surgical technique. It is beyond the scope of this paper to review all aspects of surgical technique in liver transplantation; thus, in this review we focus on the description of our current technique in most cases, which is orthotopic liver transplantation with preservation of the inferi...
