Abstract
Cryopreserved monobloc aorto-mitral homograft implantation to treat complex recurrent endocarditis involving the intervalvular fibrous body and both aortic and mitral orifices, as previously described, remains a technically demanding procedure. We report two cases of recurrent destructive aorto-mitral endocarditis treated by a monobloc aorto-mitral homograft implantation with encouraging results.
