The Bentall and DeBono procedure is the surgery of choice for the repair of annulo-aortic ectasia. The association of such degenerative disease with coronary atherosclerosis is unusual. We report the case of a 57-year old patient with such association who underwent a Bentall and DeBono procedure and concurrent coronary artery by-pass graft (CABG). With the support of extracorporeal circulation and myocardial protection through retrograde cold blood cardioplegia, the following procedure was performed: composite replacement of the aortic valve and the ascending aorta for a valvular bovine pericardium tube graft, and CABG, using the anastomosis of the internal thoracic artery to the left interventricular artery and a segment of the saphenous vein connecting the internal thoracic artery with the marginal branch of the circunflex artery. Both, the surgery and the post operative period, were uneventful.
