Thane Patient Receives Complex Bentall Surgery for Marfan-Related Heart Damage
A 39-year-old man had Marfan syndrome, which can weaken important body tissues.
The main blood vessel near his heart had become very enlarged.
His heart valve was also leaking badly, allowing blood to flow backward.
Doctors at KIMS Hospitals in Thane performed a Bentall procedure.
This surgery replaced the enlarged blood-vessel section and the damaged valve.
The doctors then reconnected the heart’s blood vessels to the new graft.
The patient recovered well and left the hospital five days after surgery.
Doctors said people with Marfan syndrome should have regular heart and aorta check-ups.
A 39-year-old man with Marfan syndrome developed a severely enlarged aortic root and severe aortic valve leakage.
Doctors at KIMS Hospitals, Thane, diagnosed annulo-aortic ectasia with severe aortic regurgitation.
The medical team replaced the patient’s aortic root and valve using a Bentall procedure.
The operation also involved reconnecting the coronary arteries to the replacement graft.
The patient recovered well and was discharged on the fifth postoperative day; doctors advised regular monitoring for people with Marfan syndrome.

Quotes
Dr Saumya Sekhar Jenasamant
Consultant Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeon who performed the operation
“Marfan syndrome requires particular attention to the cardiovascular system because changes in the aorta can progress over time. In this patient, the aortic root had become significantly affected and was associated with severe aortic regurgitation. A Bentall procedure allowed us to address both problems together,”
