Case Report (n=1)
No
Demonstrates the successful performance of a Bentall operation for an aortic root aneurysm in a patient with Marfan syndrome.
Supports feasibility of Bentall operation in young Marfan patients; leaves open need for larger studies to inform guidelines.
A 34 yrs old man of marfan syndrome, visited us with the complaints of palpitation, easy fatigability and chest discomfort for last 1year. He was pointed out to have the aortic root enlargement with severe aortic regurgitation & mild mitral regurgitation by echocardiography and CT angiogram. We excised the aneurysm, implanted a composite graft with prosthetic valve conduit (Bentall operation), directly attached the coronary arteries to the aortic graft, and made the distal anastomosis to the divided aorta. Postoperative course was uneventful. To our knowledge, this is the first successful case of Bentall operation in national Institute of cardiovascular Diseases.Cardiovasc. j. 2015; 8(1): 78-81
