Abstract
This report describes a technique to create a biologic Bentall from a pericardial tube and a rapid deployment valve. This technique facilitates reimplantation of the coronary arteries because the proximal anastomosis is sewn before valve implantation and allows suturing of the coronary ostia from inside and outside, given that there is no interference with the implanted valve. Indications for this technique include complex redo cases and patients with contraindications to a conventional Bentall procedure. This technique has been used in 2 patients with good results.
