[Mitral valve replacement with cryopreserved mitral homograft].

Abstract

Mitral valve replacement using a cryopreserved mitral homograft was performed in a 49 year old patient with calcified mitral stenosis. The surgical technique is described. The postoperative course was uneventful. Transoesophageal echo performed 4 months later showed a normal function of the mitral homograft.
