Abstract
Aortic root reconstruction during aortic root replacement for a patient with prosthetic valve endocarditis and aortic root abscess can be a difficult procedure with many possible complications. In this video case report, we describe our novel technique using a single bovine pericardial patch that avoids deep stitches or external sutures to support the friable annulus. Compared with more standard methods, this approach has shorter cross-clamp and cardiopulmonary bypass times and is less demanding technically.
