Double-valve endocarditis homograft and patch repair.

30 Oct 2009 We present our technique for reconstruction of aortic valve, mitral valve, and aortomitral curtain in double-valve endocarditis with involvement of intervalvular fibrous ... Read more...

A modified composite valve Dacron graft for prevention of postoperative bleeding from the proximal anastomosis after Bentall procedure.

30 Oct 2009 Bleeding is one of the most devastating complications of the Bentall procedure. We describe a simple, modified composite valve Dacron (DuPont, Wilmington, DE) graft to prevent bleeding from the proximal anastomosis between the graft and aortic ... Read more...

Successful transapical aortic valve replacement in a patient with a previous mechanical mitral valve replacement.

30 Oct 2009 In this case we illustrate our experience with transapical minimal invasive aortic valve replacement in a patient who previously underwent mitral valve replacement. The implantation did not interfere with the existing prosthesis and could even be ... Read more...
