Abstract

A forty-eight-year-old female patient with ascending aortic aneurysm with aortic insufficiency underwent a modified Bentall operation. The ascending aorta and the aortic valve were replaced with a composite graft containing a St. Jude valve. The coronary orifices were anastomosed to the tubular Dacron prosthesis by means of a second smaller Gore-Tex tube, and a fistula between the aneurysmal sac and the right atrial appendage was created to drain oozing from the prosthesis. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged without complication. She is doing well on the 14 months follow-up.
