Abstract
This report discusses the case of a patient with an aortic root aneurysm who had previously undergone aortic valve replacement with a large mechanical prosthesis that proved to be normally functioning at the time of reoperation. This report describes a technique of replacing the aortic root while retaining the existing aortic valve, similar to the completion Bentall procedure, using a 32-mm Valsalva graft by suturing the skirted portion of the graft to the sewing ring of the mechanical valve. The ability of the skirt to increase its diameter is the key to this approach.
