ABSTRACT
A 34-year-old woman was referred to us because of severe aortic regurgitation and annuloaortic ectasia. She also showed a high level of CRP and stenosis of cervical arteries and aortitis syndrome was diagnosed. A translocated Bentall's procedure was performed after administration of corticosteroid. An SJM valve prosthesis was translocated from 1cm above the distal end of the graft and this composite graft was anastomosed to the aortic annulus with buttress sutures reinforced with Dacron felt. Both coronary orifices were reconstructed with small sized Dacron grafts, interposed from the coronary orifices to the composite graft. There was not any complication postoperatively. This procedure is preferable in cases with aortitis syndrome, because it decreases risk of prosthetic detachment in the aortic valve position.
