Key result
Redo surgery using Dr. Yakut's modified Bentall procedure (the flanged technique) was performed in three patients with postoperative aortic root dehiscence, resulting in two successful discharges and one death.
Why the study?
Postoperative aortic root dehiscence is a very rare and life-threatening complication carrying a high mortality rate and risk of spontaneous rupture.
Case Report (n=3)
Redo surgery using Dr. Yakut's modified Bentall procedure (flanged technique) is a feasible salvage option for the rare and highly lethal complication of postoperative aortic root dehiscence.

May offer salvage in aortic root dehiscence; leaves open confirmation of safety in larger series.
Ascending aortic pathologies may be life-threatening. Postoperative aortic root dehiscence is a very rare but extremely dangerous complication with a high mortality rate, and redo surgery is mandatory due to high risk of spontaneous rupture. We present three cases that had undergone Bentall procedure and had postoperative aortic root dehiscence. One of the patients presented with hemiplegia caused by septic embolus while the others had mild symptoms. Dr. Yakut's modified Bentall procedure, the flanged technique, was performed for each patient in redo surgery. Two patients were successfully discharged from the hospital, but one died due to intracranial hemorrhage and multiple organ failure.

İyigün et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Postoperative aortic root dehiscence (n=3). Redo surgery using Dr. Yakut's modified Bentall procedure (the flanged technique) was evaluated on Survival/discharge. Redo surgery using Dr. Yakut's modified Bentall procedure (the flanged technique) was performed in three patients with postoperative aortic root dehiscence, resulting in two successful discharges and one death.
