From 1986 to 1996, 20 patients underwent aortic root replacement. All of the patients had annulo aortic ectasia (AAE); Six had DeBakey type I aortic dissection, three were acute dissections associated with Marfan's syndrome; three had previously undergone the Koster-Collins operation. During 11 years, the original Bentall procedure (1986-91), the Cabrol procedure (1991-), and the modified Bentall procedure (Carrel patch or Piehler technique) were performed. There was only 1 hospital mortality (5.0%). Four patients died during the follow-up period (mediastinitis, myocardial infarction, cerebral bleeding, and rupture of the arch aneurysm). Only 2 patients required reoperation (repair of a pseudoaneurysm of the right coronary artery and paravalvular leakage of the aortic valve replacement). The satisfactory outcomes were the result of the full-thickness anastomoses performed during coronary artery reconstruction.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008382 Marfan Syndrome An autosomal dominant disorder of CONNECTIVE TISSUE with abnormal features in the heart, the eye, and the skeleton. Cardiovascular manifestations include MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE; AORTIC ANEURYSM; and AORTIC DISSECTION. Other features include lens displacement (ectopia lentis), disproportioned long limbs and enlarged DURA MATER (dural ectasia). Marfan syndrome (type 1) is associated with mutations in the gene encoding FIBRILLIN-1 (FBN1), a major element of extracellular microfibrils of connective tissue. Mutations in the gene encoding TYPE II TGF-BETA RECEPTOR (TGFBR2) are associated with Marfan syndrome type 2.
