Simple completion Bentall procedure of preserving aortic bioprosthesis after aortic valve replacement.

Abstract

The “completion Bentall” is a redo procedure that consists in replacing the aortic root with reimplantation of coronary ostia in the case of a previously implanted normally functioning aortic prosthesis.1 Bioprosthesis-preserving completion Bentall operation in particular is an extremely rare situation.2-5 We describe a simple and feasible technique of completion Bentall procedure preserving aortic bioprosthesis after aortic valve replacement.
