Apico-aortic valved conduit as an alternative for aortic valve re-replacement in severe prosthesis-patient mismatch.
Off-pump implantation of an apico-aortic bioprothesis-valved conduit in a 75-year-old female symptomatic patient with severe prosthesis-patient mismatch secondary to a previous aortic valve replacement, calcified ascending aorta, tight adhesion with the sternum, was successfully conducted to relieve the left ventricle from severe aortic stenosis.
