Özet

A patient with native valve endocarditis and vegetation on anterior mitral leaflet underwent aortic valve replacement with preservation of aortic noncoronary leaflet as a patch over the inflammated intervalvular fibrous body. This technique may minimize prosthetic material use, which is the most important risk factor for reinfection.
