Abstract:
Bacterial endocarditis of the native aortic valve is associated with significant morbidity and mortality despite aggressive medical and surgical treatment, especially when perivalvular tissue was invaded and destructed. The pulmonary autograft is full viable and immune compatible tissue. This paper describes successful Ross operation as total root replacement in 38 years old native valve endocarditis patient with aortic root abscess.
