[A case report of Bentall procedure for annulo-aortic ectasia associated with right coronary artery dissection].
A 30-year-old man who had annuloaortic ectasia associated with aortic insufficiency owing to marked annular dilatation was treated by replacement of the ascending aorta and aortic valve with a composite graft. It was necessary to transpose the origin of the coronary artery because of the development of dissection to right coronary ostia. We have applied the Bentall procedure with aorta coronary bypass between the right coronary artery and the aortic prosthesis with the use of saphenous vein graft. His post operative course is uneventful and engaging full work 18 month after operation. This technique is useful for the case of annuloaortic ectasia associated with difficulty coronary anastomosis such as coronary artery dissection, obstruction or dislocation.
