The Bentall procedure is a type of cardiac surgery that replaces the aortic valve, aortic root and ascending aorta together as a composite graft, with the coronary arteries reimplanted into the graft. It treats combined disease of the aortic valve and ascending aorta, including the aortic lesions associated with Marfan syndrome. First described in 1968 by Hugh Bentall and Antony De Bono, it remains a standard operation for people who need aortic root replacement, and most recipients receive a mechanical valve.
