- Abstract
This work is based on the greatest experience in Venezuela in the surgical treatment of the aortic root in pathologies that require a Bentall procedure. It represents the experience in the 207 cases carried out with this procedure; types of prosthetics and grafts, techniques used, observed care, results, complications, and mortality. Of Bentall's interventions, 59 cases (27.4 %) were done with total circulatory arrest in deep hypothermia at 18 ºC. As associated procedures, 21 patients received aorto-coronary bypass grafts and 10 patients also had mitral valve replacement. The overall operative mortality of the sample was 12.5 %. The success rate of this experience was 87.5 %, fully justifying the completion of the procedure in the pathology of very high mortality, especially when referring to dissections.
