    Abstract:
    The case is reported of multiple valve surgery using as little prosthetic material as possible in a drug addict with recurrent right and left bacterial endocarditis. The patient underwent aortic valve replacement with a cryopreserved aortic homograft, mitral repair and tricuspid valve replacement with a mitral homograft, using a modified technique. The indications and surgical options for tricuspid valve endocarditis in this patient group are discussed, with particular focus on technical aspects of using mitral homografts in the tricuspid position.
