Since 1968, when Bentall and De Bono introduced a novel technique to treat aortic

root disease —be it as a result of dissection or aneurysm— surgical mortality

improved so much that it became possible to establish this technique as the gold

standard for surgical treatment of aortic root disease. Several modifications have

been made of the original technique until the present surgery with remodeling

or conservation of the aortic valve was developed. In this paper we present our

experience with a slight variation of the Bentall technique applied in four patients

with aortic root aneurysm that has allowed a reduction of the surgical time and

bleeding, fast recovery and easy reproducibility.
