The Bentall procedure successfully managed a young patient presenting with symptomatic severe aortic regurgitation and a large aortic root aneurysm secondary to a bicuspid aortic valve.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports Bentall feasibility in select young bicuspid patients with aneurysm; leaves open durability and generalizability in larger cohorts.
