Degenerated BioBentall graft with failing stentless bioprosthesis and dissection of the aortic conduit treated with a bail-out valve in valve procedure: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Bentall procedure is commonly performed to treat combined aortic valve and ascending aorta disease requiring surgical correction. Although the technique has been shown to provide favourable long-term outcomes, both the valvular prosthesis and the aortic conduit can go through structural degeneration. Increasing use of the biological prosthesis opened to percutaneous treatment of valvular deterioration according to a valve-in-valve (ViV) technique. On the contrary, damages of the tube graft are normally referred to repeated surgical operation.

Case summary

In the present case, a patient with a biological Bentall graft was diagnosed with severely deteriorated stentless aortic prosthesis and dissection of the conduit arising from a tube wall tear closely located
