Abstract
Ascending aortic pathologies may be life-threatening. Postoperative aortic root dehiscence is a very rare but extremely dangerous complication with a high mortality rate, and redo surgery is mandatory due to high risk of spontaneous rupture. We present three cases that had undergone Bentall procedure and had postoperative aortic root dehiscence. One of the patients presented with hemiplegia caused by septic embolus while the others had mild symptoms. Dr. Yakut's modified Bentall procedure, the flanged technique, was performed for each patient in redo surgery. Two patients were successfully discharged from the hospital, but one died due to intracranial hemorrhage and multiple organ failure.
