Flanged Bentall procedure for paravalvular leakage and pseudoaneurysm after root replacement in Behcet's disease and infective endocarditis: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Behcet's disease is a multi-systemic inflammatory disorder. Paravalvular leakage and aortic pseudoaneurysm are rare in patients with Behcet's disease after aortic root replacement. Complicated post-operative infective endocarditis can make the treatment more difficult. We applied a flanged Bentall procedure to treat one such case.

Case summary

A 27-year-old man with aortic regurgitation and Behcet's disease underwent aortic root replacement. Post-operative electrocardiogram showed a complete atrioventricular block. One year after the operation, he underwent percutaneous temporary pacemaker implantation and endovascular stent graft exclusion because of pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta. Post-operative fever and blood culture confirmed infective endocarditis. Ex
