This case report highlights the therapeutic and procedural complexity of performing a redo-Bentall operation for subacute infectious endocarditis with an aortic root abscess 12 years after the initial surgery.
We present the case of a 59-year-old woman who undergoes surgery 12 years after the Bentall-de Bono operation (replacement of the aortic valve and ascending aorta with valvular duct and direct reimplantation of the coronaryan ostia in the duct).
