Performing Bentall operations via partial upper sternotomy is associated with similar perfusion and cross-clamp times, as well as overall mortality, when compared to a full sternotomy approach. A low threshold for conversion to full sternotomy should be accepted if limited access proves insufficient for the handling of intraoperative complications, particularly bleeding.
