Abstract

A 49-year-old man who had undergone AVR entered our hospital with congestive heart failure and continuing slight fever. By cardiac imaging, he was diagnosed prosthetic valve endocarditis with periannular pseudoaneurysm and perivalvular leakage. He underwent a new translocation method using a composite valve (a prosthetic valve directly sutured a ring prosthesis, which was separated from an intraluminal ringed graft). Post operative course was uneventful. He recovered well after the operation.
