TY - JOUR AU - Yan, Tristan D. PY - 2015 TI - Mini-Bentall procedure JF - Annals of Cardiothoracic Surgery; Vol 4, No 2 (March 29, 2015): Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Surgery (II) Y2 - 2015 KW - N2 - An important goal in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery is reducing surgical trauma to achieve faster recovery for our patients. Mini-Bentall procedure encompasses aortic root and ascending aortic replacement with re-implantation of coronary buttons, performed via a mini-sternotomy. The skin incision extends from the angle of Louis to the third intercostal space, usually measuring 5-7 cm in length. Through this incision, it is possible to perform isolated aortic root surgery and/or hemi-arch replacement. The present illustrated article describes the technical details on how I perform a Mini-Bentall procedure with hemi-arch replacement. UR - https://www.annalscts.com/article/view/5995
