Abstract
Aortomitral common annular involvement, which is not uncommon in infective endocarditis, necessitates deliberate surgical procedures. To repair fibrou s skeleton abscess accompanied with annuloaortic ectasia, we used a brimmed valved conduit. Tension-free reconstruction of the aortic root and aortomi tral common annulus was easily performed with this method. (C) 1998 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
