A 56-year-old Marfan’s syndrome patient was admitted for chest pain. Colon was visible on the chest X-ray (Fig. 1) and coronarography. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed enlarged aorta and a trans-diaphragmatic retrosternal colic hernia (Fig. 2) (video 1). Combined Bentall procedure and reduction of the hernia were performed (video 2). www.elsevier.com/locate/ejcts European Journal of Cardio-thoracic Surgery 39 (2011) e148
