A 45-year-old diabetic woman was subjected to percutaneous cardiopulmonary support for a life-threatening pulmonary embolism. One month later, she developed isolated pulmonic valve endocarditis. The causative organism was methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Because of the uncontrollable infection and residual pulmonary hypertension, she underwent pulmonary artery root replacement with a cryopreserved pulmonary allograft. The postoperative course was very good. In this case, allograft implantation with a full root played a very important role because this method permitted thorough resection of the infected tissues and reconstruction which is highly resistant to infection.
