“…Stentless xenografts have been widely used owing to improved flow pattern, durability, and excellent longterm clinical results; possible disadvantages include difficult handling, limited durability compared with mechanical valve conduits [53], and severe conduit calcification with time [22].…”

“…Alternatively, several ways of replacing the root with bioprosthesis-containing conduits have been described [5,6], though none of them can assure freedom from prosthetic degeneration in young patients. The issue is a minor concern in the elderly when homograft or xenograft roots may be an option although not all surgeons keep them in stock.…”

The Bentall operation is a well-established procedure for aortic root replacement, generally contemplating the use of a mechanical valve substitute. We have devised a simple modification by which a stented bioprosthesis is sutured inside, rather than at the extremity, of a vascular tube graft. This facilitates the technique of implantation and may simplify a redo procedure in case of valve failure. #

“…This approach has been championed by Urbansky et al who have been using a composite graft consisting of a stentless valve bioprosthesis incorporated within a sealed woven Dacron tube graft [23][24][25]. The composite graft is assembled intra-operatively after measuring the size of the aortic valve annulus.…”

“…Urbansky et al have recently reported their experience in 45 consecutive patients operated on between 1998 and 2001 with their homemade composite graft (Table 1) [25]. At a mean follow-up of 18 months, no patient required a valverelated reoperation and three thromboembolic events (two minor, one major) were recorded.…”

Increasing patient age and improved durability of latest generation bioprostheses have stimulated the use of bioprosthetic devices in the setting of ascending aortic replacement as an alternative to mechanical valved conduits or aortic valve-sparing procedures. We performed an English literature review to assess different surgical options that have been described for bioprosthetic replacement of the ascending aorta. Reported options include: (1) composite valved conduits using a stented bioprosthesis; (2) composite valved conduits using a stentless bioprosthesis; (3) total xenopericardial valved conduits. Composite valved grafts using stented bioprostheses offer a safe and durable option for bioprosthetic replacement of the ascending aorta. Other options are of more recent use and await medium-term results.
