What is Bentall Surgery?
Bentall Surgery is a specialized cardiac procedure performed to replace the aortic root, aortic valve, and ascending aorta. It is commonly recommended for patients with conditions like Aortic Aneurysms, Aortic Valve Disease, or Marfan Syndrome. This complex operation ensures proper blood flow from the heart and prevents life-threatening complications such as aortic rupture.
When is Bentall Surgery Recommended?
- Aortic Aneurysms: Bulges in the aorta that can rupture if left untreated.
- Aortic Regurgitation: A condition where the aortic valve doesn’t close properly, leading to backward blood flow.
- Aortic Valve Disease: Severe valve dysfunction leading to improper blood flow.
- Connective Tissue Disorders: Conditions weakening the aortic wall.
- Marfan Syndrome or Other Connective Tissue Disorders: These conditions can weaken the aorta and valves, increasing the risk of complications.
The Bentall Procedure: Step-by-Step Overview
- Incision and Access: The surgeon opens the chest and accesses the heart using cardiopulmonary bypass.
- Aortic Root Replacement: The damaged aortic root and valve are removed and replaced with a synthetic graft.
- Aortic Valve Replacement: A mechanical or biological valve is placed within the graft.
- Coronary Artery Reattachment: The coronary arteries are connected to the graft to ensure proper blood supply.
- Closure and Recovery: The heart is restarted, and the chest is closed.
Risks and Considerations
- Bleeding or Infection: Post-surgical complications.
- Blood Clots: Increased risk with mechanical valves.
- Prolonged Recovery: Full recovery may take weeks to months.
- Lifelong Medication: Blood thinners may be required with mechanical valves.
Recovery After Bentall Surgery
- Hospital Stay: Patients typically stay in the hospital for 7–10 days, including ICU monitoring.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Gradual return to daily activities over 6–8 weeks.
- Medication: Blood thinners and other medications may be prescribed.
- Follow-Up Care: Regular check-ups with a cardiologist to monitor heart function and graft health.
Who Performs Bentall Surgery?
