Homograft aortic root replacement in native or prosthetic active infective endocarditis: Twenty-year single-center experience
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 09/24/09
Musci M et al. – Homograft aortic root replacement in active infective endocarditis with periannular abscess formation shows satisfactory early and long–term results with significantly better survival in native valve endocarditis than prosthetic valve endocarditis. It is associated with a low recurrence rate, although the risk of structural valve deterioration increases over time, especially in young patients, and reoperation remains a challenge.
