Abstract Neoaortic root dilation is a common phenomenon after the Norwood procedure, but the real incidence and its natural history are unclear. Regular surveillance in these patients after the operation is necessary. Herein, we present an 11-year-old boy born with tricuspid atresia, a discordant ventriculo-arterial connection and a hypoplastic aortic arch, who was palliated initially with a hybrid stage I procedure involving a reversed Blalock–Taussig shunt, followed by comprehensive stage II and then, an extra-cardiac fenestrated Fontan operation. The patient developed an aortic root aneurysm and severe aortic regurgitation. He was electively taken into the operating room, where cardiopulmonary bypass was established through a peripheral cannulation of the femoral vessels due to the high risk nature of the reoperation. A mechanical Bentall procedure was performed without residual lesions and the native ascending aorta was anastomosed as a single coronary button to the anterior wall of the graft.

A middle-aged man diagnosed case of Marfan syndrome associated with pectus excavatum presented with chest pain and dyspnea. Chest X-ray, transthoracic echocardiography and Computed tomography (CT) of heart and aorta revealed severe Aortic regurgitation with dilated aortic root, sinotubular junction and ascending aorta with normal size arch and descending aorta. Patient was taken for surgery. Pectus excavatum creates difficulties for heart exposure and cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass. We planned for femoro-femoral bypass to carry out ahesiolysis and Bentall procedure without much difficulties. Postoperative stay of the patient was uneventful and followed up in regular interval.

<p><strong>Aim:</strong> This study was designed to evaluate the results of using a new method of aortic valve reimplantation named Kuban Cuff technique, where the key stage of surgery was to create new sinuses of Valsalva.<br /><strong>Methods:</strong> Analyzed over a period from 2011 to 2015 were the outcomes of treatment of 45 (37 males) patients with various anatomy of the aortic valve (tri/bicuspid ones) and initial pathologies: aneurysms of the root and the ascending aorta, dissection of the ascending aorta, insufficiency of the aortic valve. A detailed description of the surgical technique and the unique device to prepare a vascular graft for reimplantation is given. The mean age of patients was 56.5 years (46.5; 66.5), the average time of cardiopulmonary bypass was 193.6 min (128.9; 258.2), the aorta cross-clamping time was 142.6 min (104.5; 180.7), the circulatory arrest time was 28.1 min (13.1; 43.1).<br /><strong>Results:</strong> Hospital mortality was 2 (4.4%) patients. 3 (6.6%) patients underwent re-sternotomy because of postoperative bleeding. One patient had to undergo a redo (Bentall procedure) at 2 months after discharge from the hospital as a result of acute infective endocarditis of the aortic valve. All patients demonstrated a good function of the aortic valve with regurgitation of 0/1 grade. Prior to discharge, the aortic regurgitation grade was decreased from 2.83±0.44 before surgery to 0.62±0.7 after surgery. The mean follow-up time in 42 patients (93.3%) was 12.3 months (2.68; 21.98).<br /><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The Kuban Cuff technique fully recreates a close analogue of the natural aortic root, stabilizes the fibrous annulus of the aortic valve, minimizes the risk of bleeding from the anastomosis zone. The technique is simple and reproducible with any type of vascular prostheses and does not take much time.</p>

Though the incidence of aneurysms involving the aortic root and/or ascending aorta is common, the combination of aortic root aneurysm and the right atrial clot is extremely rare. No such case is reported in literature till date. This case report presents a 52-year gentleman who came to our emergency department with complaints of breathlessness, abdominal distention, pedal swelling, and decreased urine output with extremely poor general condition. After hemodynamic stabilization and preoperative optimization and workup, he was managed with Bentall procedure with right atrial clot removal. The immediate postoperative course was normal except for deranged liver function tests. The patient was discharged on postoperative day ten.

<p>Bentall procedure, first performed 50 years ago, holds a special place in the history of aortic surgery. Up to now this procedure has been widely used in cardiac surgery and remains the golden standard in managing the ascending aorta and aortic valve diseases. This paper looks at Professor Hugh Bentall’s biography, the Russian translation of his original paper published in 1968 and also a short history of ascending aorta surgery.</p><p><strong>Conflict of interest:</strong> The authors declare no conflict of interest.<br /><strong>Acknowledgement:</strong> The authors appreciate Professor S.P. Gliantsev’s critical comments and valuable advice in discussions about the paper.</p>

Abstract Introduction Echocardiography is the primary imaging modality in prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE). It is characterised by a lower incidence of vegetations and a higher incidence of perivalvular complications, including valve dehiscence and must be suspected in case of a new periprosthetic regurgitation, even without vegetation or abscess. Multimodality approach is mandatory to detect penetration of the process into the valve ring, aortic root or ascending aorta for complete operative preparation. Case presentation A 22-year old male, with history of Bio-Bentall procedure due to Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) infective endocarditis on the mechanical aortic valve (AV) two years priorly, presented to the emergency department with sudden dyspnea without fever. He was treated for pneumonia due to increased inflammatory parameters and bilateral pulmonary infiltrates on X-Ray. Due to complete regression of infiltrates over the night, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was performed, revealing almost complete dehiscence of the AV graft with most of the antegrade and retrograde flow through the pseudoaneurismatic sac, communicating with the ascending aorta at the distal graft dehiscence, no clear vegetation was seen. With clearly visible valve and supravalvular pathology of the AV on TTE, we proceeded to computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the thoracic aorta, which showed dissection and delineated rupture of Bio-Bentall graft. The pseudoaneurismatic sac surrounding bulbar portion of Bentall graft, communicating with the left outflow tract and sinus Valsave was seen, compressing ostial portion of the left main and right coronary artery. Re-Bio-Bentall procedure and venous grafting of the left anterior descendant and right coronary artery were performed. Intraoperative transthoracic transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) confirmed the findings, already provided by TTE and CTA. Hemocultures as well as sonication of the removed graft remained negative for bacteria. Postoperatively, left ventricular failure developed, requiring VA ECMO. On postoperative CTA, changes were consistent with usual postprocedural changes. After prolonged rehabilitation, the patient was released home, clinically stable, but with severely reduced ejection fraction of the left ventricle, severe diastolic dysfunction and mild mitral regurgitation. Conclusion TTE is a very useful, non-invasive imaging method in diagnosing PVE and its complications, which can be upgraded with TEE or CTA to provide additional information on the ascending aorta. In a patient, with the past history of repetitive S. aureus infective endocarditis, presenting with Bio-Bental dehiscence, PVE cannot be excluded completely. Even though the timing for follow-up imaging is not well defined in current guidelines, patients with dehiscence of prosthetic valve or graft present a high risk group, demanding individual follow-up planning and lower threshold for imaging referral.

Dilation of the ascending aorta and aortic dissections are often seen in Marfan syndrome; however, true aneurysms of the subclavian and axillary arteries rarely seem to develop in patients who have this disease. We present the case of a 58-year-old man with Marfan syndrome who had undergone a Bentall procedure and thoracoabdominal aortic repair for an aortic dissection and who later developed multiple aneurysmal dilations of his right subclavian and axillary arteries. The aneurysms were successfully repaired by means of a surgical bypass technique in which a Dacron graft was placed between the carotid and brachial arteries. We also discuss our strategy for determining the optimal surgical approach in these patients.

A 73-year-old man diagnosed with moderate aortic insufficiency and dilatation of the aortic root and ascending aorta underwent a modified Bentall procedure and hemi-arch aortic replacement. During open distal anastomosis of the ascending aorta, the surgical needle was lost. Because of circulatory arrest, the operation was continued; before closing the chest, radiography and a transesophageal echo were located in the needle in the descending aorta. It was retrieved using a snare catheter via the graft branch under fluoroscopic guidance. Thus, locating the needle in the descending aorta and leaving the graft branch uncut led to its removal without a new incision.
