title: [Valvular homografts].
abstract: Renewed interest in heart valve homografts is related to recent advances in viability. Increased viability is achieved by collecting explanted hearts from multi-organ donors and cryopreservation. Right access is usually used in case of hereditary cardiopathy to resect or repair the aortic, mitral and tricuspid valves. Life-long anticoagulant treatment can thus be avoided. Current mid-term and long-term results are very promising.
