Abstract

Aortomitral common annular involvement, which is not uncommon in infective endocarditis, necessitates deliberate surgical procedures. To repair fibrous skeleton abscess accompanied with annuloaortic ectasia, we used a brimmed valved conduit. Tension-free reconstruction of the aortic root and aortomitral common annulus was easily performed with this method.
