We report a case of Bentall and redo-Konno operation. A 39-year-old male with surgical history of Konno operation presented with hemolytic anemia and heart failure. Further evaluations revealed aortic paraprosthetic leak with moderate regurgitation, moderate biventricular outflow tract obstruction, and aortic root aneurysm. During the operation, the old Konno septoplasty patch with organized thrombus and the severely calcified right ventricular patch were replaced, and the aortic root was replaced with a larger mechanical valve in a Valsalva graft. Postoperative images showed appropriately reconstructed biventricular outflow tracts. The Bentall operation with redo-Konno was an excellent option in this situation.
