Abstract

A 44-year-old female presented with prosthetic valve endocarditis with periannular abscess involving the left coronary ostium. We describe cryopreserved aortic homograft root replacement with hemi-Cabrol reimplantation of the left coronary ostium using the long saphenous vein.

Key Words

Prosthetic valve endocarditis - Aortic root abscess - Re-operative surgery - Homograft - Cabrol
