title: [The Bentall operation for annuloaortic ectasia].
abstract: Surgical technique of Bentall operation for annuloaortic ectasia was described with a special emphasis on the technical revisions obtained from the author's own experiences. Most important aspect described in this paper is a complete wrapping of the composite graft with the aneurysmal sac so that the blood leaking from the composite graft is confined within the aneurysmal sac until the blood coagulability is restored. Another emphasis was placed on the suture technique at the site of the right and left coronary ostia anastomosed to the side holes of the composite graft. Intra- and postoperative complications specific for this procedure were also described with their treatment.
