The patient, who had undergone a complete cure of a tetralogy of Fallot 25 years previously, was discovered to have an ascending aorta aneurysm on echography. Bentall's procedure was carried-out, using a modified indirect coronary artery transplantation based on the Cabrol technique. As reported in the literature complications are mainly right sided and less frequently occur on the left side in this disease. Including the hypothesis of the overload volume which may provoke aortic root dilation, there is also an intrinsic pathology of the media which could often be related to embryogenesis abnormalities, i.e., abnormal migration of cardiac neural crest cells which may explain this condition.
