FAQ's

In certain conditions, your aortic root might develop an aneurysm. An aneurysm is a situation in which your blood vessels get dilated and become larger compared to their normal size. When this happens, it could severely affect the function of your heart valves and blood flow. The Bentall Procedure helps treat aneurysms, as this surgery aids in repairing your aortic root and aortic valve.

Other than an aneurysm, several other problems and medical issues might affect the aorta. Marfan syndrome is one of the most common issues. It is a genetic condition that could cause problems in the tissues of the aortic root and the valve of the person. Also, other possible underlying causes that may cause problems in your aorta and its valve include physical trauma, infection, congenital heart problems, infection from bacteria, and autoimmune diseases.
