Abstract

A 70-year-old female presented with a new systolic murmur and shortness of breath three years after undergoing aortic root replacement using a 27-mm Medtronic Freestyle® stentless full root bioprosthesis (Medtronic, Inc., Fridley, Minnesota, USA). A large complex aortic root pseudoaneurysm was identified on contrasted computed tomography of the chest and transesophageal echocardiogram. We describe the redo aortic root replacement using a customized Dacron tube/valve composite graft with a proximal skirt and a modified Cabrol technique.
