What is Bentall Procedure?
The Bentall Surgery is performed to treat ascending aorta dysfunction and aortic valve dysfunction in patients with aortic root abnormalities. Bentall and De Bono gave the initial description of it in 1968. Usually, the procedure was developed to treat aortic root aneurysm patients. It was then changed in a few different ways.
The primary goal of the Bentall Surgery is aortic root replacement, which is done by inserting a mechanical valve conduit. Although it requires long-term anticoagulation and has the potential to be a long-term treatment, Aortic dissection and rupture can occur spontaneously as a result of aortic root dilatation, irrespective of whether aortic valve insufficiency is present. The application of the Bentall Operation and its various methods yields beneficial results; in addition, life expectancy has significantly grown over the last 30 years since its introduction.
