Abstract
Objective: Endocarditis with abscess formation in the intervalvular fibrous body is surgically challenging. Techniques reconstructing the intervalvular fibrous body with bovine pericardial patches have been described (David et al. JTCVS 1997). These patch techniques, however, may quickly become complex. We present a simplified technique using a self-made double Dacron patch (“Jenaer kurze Hose”).
