Abstract Ascending aortic
pathologies may be
life-threatening. Postoperative
aortic root dehiscence is a very rare but extremely dangerous complication with a high mortality rate, and redo
surgery is mandatory due to high
risk of
spontaneous rupture. We present three cases that had undergone Bentall
procedure and had postoperative
aortic root dehiscence. One of the
patients presented with
hemiplegia caused by septic
embolus while the others had mild symptoms. Dr. Yakut's modified Bentall
procedure, the flanged
technique, was performed for each
patient in redo
surgery. Two
patients were successfully discharged from the
hospital, but one died due to
intracranial hemorrhage and
multiple organ failure.
