An important goal in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery is reducing surgical trauma to achieve faster recovery for our patients. Mini-Bentall procedure encompasses aortic root and ascending aortic replacement with re-implantation of coronary buttons, performed via a mini-sternotomy. The skin incision extends from the angle of Louis to the third intercostal space, usually measuring 5-7 cm in le...

INTRODUCTION Management of aortic root aneurysm or dissection has been the subject of much discussion that has led to some modifications. The current trend is a valve-sparing root replacement. We compared the outcome following valve sparing root repair with Bentall procedure. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 70 patients who underwent root replacement for aneurysm or dissection and compare...

 Case Presentation: We hereby present a case report of patient who was diagnosed having moderate severe Aortic Regurgitation (AR) with aneurysm. He treated successfully by us M.Bentall procedure.

INTRODUCTION Since its introduction in 1968, the Bentall procedure has been the primary surgical solution for aneurysms of the aortic root.

Therefore, the Bentall procedure has undergone several modifications to eliminate those complicatio...
