Article Abstract
Background: Despite advances in surgical techniques, aortic reoperation is still associated with a high risk of mortality due to possible injury of the myocardium or great vessels during resternotomy.
Materials & Methods: We report the case of a giant aortic pseudoaneurysm, 17 years after the Bentall procedure in a 76-year-old male patient.
Results: Successful pseudoaneurysm resection after the Bentall procedure using the ThruPort IntraClude intra-aortic occlusion device (Edwards Lifesciences) was achieved.
Discussion: The IntraClude catheter can be used effectively to provide endovascular clamping of the ascending aorta during challenging cardiac reoperations.

Management of the dissected aortic root in young patients: A propensity score-matched analysis of mechanical versus bioprosthetic aortic root replacement.
JTCVS Open
August 2025
Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa.
Objective: Valve selection in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) requiring aortic root replacement is challenging given the clinical acuity, unknown patient preferences, risk of surgical bleeding, and limited life expectancy. We sought to identify long-term outcomes of mechanical versus bioprosthetic aortic root replacement in young patients with ATAAD.
Methods: Retrospective review of our institution's database of ATAAD was conducted to identify patients aged 65 years and younger who underwent mechanical Bentall (mech-Bentall) or bioprosthetic Bentall (bio-Bentall) for ATAAD from 2002 to 2022.
Early experience with a prefabricated bioprosthetic aortic valved conduit: The first 100.
JTCVS Open
August 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.
Objective: To evaluate the early postoperative morbidity, mortality, and prosthetic conduit function of patients who underwent aortic root replacement using a prefabricated bioprosthetic aortic valved conduit.
Methods: Single-center retrospective review of 124 consecutive adult patients who underwent aortic root replacement with a certified prefabricated bioprosthetic aortic valved conduit from 2021 to December 2023.
Results: Indications for operation were aortic aneurysms (n = 92), endocarditis (n = 12), deterioration of prior valve prosthesis (n = 13), and aortic dissection (n = 6).

Although generally considered harmless commensals or beneficial probiotics, species can act as opportunistic pathogens under certain clinical conditions. We describe a case of high-grade bacteremia in a 59-year-old man with a history of aortic root dilation status post Bentall procedure and bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement. The suspected source was recent dental instrumentation.

Introduction: Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is a highly effective procedure for the management of selected advanced heart failure patients, prolonging patient life and improving quality. Additional cardiac pathologies, especially valvular regurgitation or coronary heart disease, are common in LVAD recipients, whereas reports on the surgical management of heart failure combined with aortic disease are rare.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a 60-year-old patient with an aortic sinus aneurysm, aortic regurgitation, and end-stage heart failure.

Introduction: Prosthetic valve endocarditis following aortic root replacement (ARR) typically necessitates redo-ARR, which involves complete graft removal, extensive aortic root dissection, and coronary reimplantation. This highly invasive procedure carries substantial surgical risk, including high operative mortality. In select high-risk patients without evidence of prosthetic graft infection, alternative surgical strategies may reduce procedural complexity and improve outcomes.
