| Abstract: | An infected tricuspid valve was successfully replaced with a fresh antibiotic treated Homovital mitral homograft procured from recipient cardiectomy specimen of simultaneous cardiac transplant in our unit. This operation seems superior to valvectomy alone or the use of a stented prosthesis in terms of hemodynamics and resistance to infection. |
