Abstract
We report a case of aortic valve replacement with a sutureless valve in a degenerated aortic homograft. This technique allows rapid aortic valve replacement in a heavily calcified aortic root. It avoids the problems of postoperative prosthetic disinsertion frequently encountered after aortic valve replacement in a calcified annulus. It is particularly suitable in redo procedures for homograft degeneration. It avoids performing a redo Bentall operation with its known morbidity.
