A young patient suffering from acute bacterial endocarditis underwent reconstructive surgery of the mitral and tricuspid valves. One year later a recurrent endocarditis occurred that could not be controlled with antibiotic therapy. Two separate mitral homografts were used to replace both the mitral and the tricuspid valves. The homografts' papillary muscles were sutured side to side to the recipient's and a circumferential suture of the leaflet tissue was accomplished. Homograft implantation was associated with Carpentier ring annuloplasty of the atrioventricular valves. In the right sided position, the mitral homograft was oriented in an anti-anatomical manner and an inverted semi-rigid prosthetic ring of the mitral type was inserted. Clinical and echocardiographic follow up at four months was excellent.
