Bentall Procedure

The Bentall Procedure is a cardiac operation including a complete composite graft replacement of the aortic valve, aortic root, and ascending aorta with re-implantation of the coronary arteries into the graft. The Bentall Procedure includes an Aortic Root Replacement which replaces the entire aortic valve as well as the ascending portion of the aorta. This procedure includes replacement of the aortic annulus and extends into the sinotubular junction. This also includes the three small dilations called the aortic sinuses also all being replaced.

The Cabrol is a safe technique that has played a crucial role in the re-operation of patients with cases of severe calcification of the ostia, difficult mobilization of the coronary arteries, and extreme aortic dilation. An Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Surgery requires doctors to make a large incision in the abdomen to expose the aorta, which can only be done through an open-heart procedure. Once the abdominal cavity is opened, a graft can be used to repair the aneurysm. This has become the standard treatment for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Surgery repairs, and continues to be the standard today.
