ABSTRACT
We describe a novel technical modification for reoperative aortic valve replacement in destructive recurrent prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis. We encountered complex anatomy in a previously operated aortic root wherein the aortic annulus and the right coronary sinus of Valsalva were destroyed. This precluded secure suture placement. We modified a composite mechanical Valsalva conduit to create a separate sinus of Valsalva left in continuity with the mechanical valve. This approach allowed us to exclude the infected right sinus of Valsalva and the corresponding aortic annulus.
