[Aortic root reconstruction with homograft in bacterial endocarditis].
We describe successful use of respectively an aortic and a pulmonary homograft as total root replacement in two patients with extensive aortic valve endocarditis. At follow-up 18 months after operation both patients were doing well and echocardiography demonstrated excellent graft function with only trivial aortic regurgitation.
