Double valve replacement through an aorto-annulo-atriotomy using an aortic-valved graft in a mitral position.
We present a modified technique for the reconstruction of the intervalvular fibrous body in double-valve replacement through an aorto-annulo-atriotomy. This technique allows the surgeon to enlarge and reconstruct both annuli by using a tailored aortic-valved conduit in a mitral position.
