  • Title: Ross operation and mitral homograft for aortic and tricuspid valve endocarditis.
    Author: Prat A, Fabre OH, Vincentelli A, Doisy V, Shaaban G.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1998 May; 65(5):1450-2. PubMed ID: 9594888.
    Abstract:
    We report here a case of concomitant aortic and tricuspid valve endocarditis occurring in a 26-year-old woman 2 weeks after she had given birth by cesarean delivery. Preoperative transthoracic echocardiography revealed a previously undetected aorta-right atrium fistula, which at operation appeared to be congenital in origin. Surgical treatment consisted of aortic valve replacement with a pulmonary autograft, tricuspid valve replacement with a cryopreserved mitral homograft, and closure of the fistulous communication. The postoperative recovery was uneventful.
