Modified Bentall Procedure Using Two Short Grafts for Coronary Reimplantation: Long-Term Results

Clinical outcomes of valve-sparing root replacement in acute type A aortic dissection

“…Several reports have shown reliable long-term survival with the Bentall operation in AAD. However, the incidence of valve-related complications is considerable (21)(22)(23). In our study, valve-related complications were higher in the Bentall group despite the fact that there was no reoperation for aortic valve in that group.…”

Midterm experience with modified Cabrol procedure: Safe and durable for complex aortic root replacement

“…The remaining 308 patients underwent a conventional button reimplantation technique. The frequency of composite graft replacement procedures increased over the years, as did the frequency of using the Cabrol technique (1995Cabrol technique ( -2005-2012. This report will focus on the 40 Cabrol patients.…”

“…Mills et al 15 and Kourliouros et al 13 consider this to be a modification of the Cabrol technique. At the same time, Hirasawa et al 16 and Maureira et al 17 tend to name it a modification of the Bentall procedure. It seems that relative length of the interposition grafts is the decisive criterion, with longer grafts being referred to as Cabrol modifications and shorter ones as Bentall modifications.…”

Giant Aneurysm of Ascending Aorta Caused by Chronic Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection with Bicuspid Aortic Valve

“…Many patients with aortic dissection die before hospital admission. Mortality has been estimated at 1-2% per hour during the first two days [2,3]. Early clinical recognition is crucial for the emergent (usually surgical) management of these cases.…”

“…The aortic aneurysm's relation to chronic aortic dissection of the ascending aorta is one of a high rate of in-hospital mortality and poor long-term survival. The aneurysms caused by chronic aortic dissection are quite rare [2][3][4]. The incidence of chronic ascending aortic dissection ranges from 21% to 31% in clinical and pathological series, and these include patients with previous cardiac surgery.…”
