Abstract:
Objective:To assess the safety of bio‐Bentall procedure with a handsewn composite bioprosthetic graft in the patients over the age of 70 years .Methods:From March 2006 to June 2014 ,23 patients over 70 years underwent aortic root replacement (Bentall procedure) with either a mechanical or a biological valve conduit .Early and midterm results were analyzed in patients undergoing aortic root replacement with two different kinds of grafts .Results:All of the 23 patients with either a mechanical (n=8) or a biological (n= 15) valve conduit were followed‐up .Averaged follow‐up time was (36 .04 ± 35 .01) months .There was no in‐hospital mortality ,and the incidence of postoperative complications were not significantly different between the two groups .Conclusions:This study suggests that the early and midterm results were not significantly different between aortic root replacement with either a mechanical or a biological valve conduit .Handsewn composite bioprosthetic graft is feasible and safe and can therefore be recommended for patients over the age of 70 years .
