Abstract
The development of acceptable and durable aortic root operations has been interesting. With trial and error there has been a progressive intrusion on the aortic valve and coronary arteries. Many surgeons have contributed to this progression, with the final step being taken by Dr Bentall in 1968. Since that time has come a gradual application of this more complete operation and a better understanding of its advantages.
