Surgical procedures often carry varying risk of post-procedural complications. The Bentall procedure for managing aortic root diseases has known complications including graft infection, pseudoaneurysm of the aorta or coronary arteries, embolisation and coronary insufficiency. The last three complications can cause myocardial infarction, are evaluated with coronary angiography and have been well described in the literature. Surprisingly, none of these possible complications was found in our patient. This case report describes a young Nigerian man with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease seven years after Bentall procedure.
