Surgical technique of multiple valve replacement with biological valves: a new option.
An eighteen-year-old male with rheumatic mitral and aortic regurgitation, and mixed tricuspid disease underwent surgery at our institution. Ross procedure, mitral homograft insertion and tricuspid valve repair was performed. We believe that this option is ideal for young patients with multivalvular disease.
