Insights
The flanged Bentall procedure, combined with the Cabrol technique, offers advantages for complex aortic root lesions. Two pediatric and young adult patients with complex conditions showed successful short-term outcomes using this surgical approach.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Thoracic Surgery
- Aortic Surgery
Background:
- Complex aortic root lesions present significant surgical challenges.
- Traditional Bentall procedures may have limitations in specific complex cases.
- The flanged Bentall and Cabrol procedure is an alternative surgical technique.
Abstract:
For complex aortic root lesions, the flanged Bentall procedure has more advantages than the traditional one. Here, we report two patients with complex root lesions treated with the flanged Bentall and Cabrol procedure: one was a 25-year-old male with interventricular septal dissection with Behçet's disease, and the other was a 4-year-old female with a very large ascending aortic aneurysm with a small annulus and Loeys-Dietz syndrome. Both patients recovered uneventfully and obtained good short-term results.
