Prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis with extensive destruction of the
aortic root, annular abscess formation, and left ventriculoaortic
discontinuity was seen in 3 patients, with aorta to left atrial fistula
formation in 2. Homograft aortic root replacement with use of the anterior
mitral leaflet of the aortic root to repair the fistula was used
successfully in all 3 patients. Their case reports are discussed to
highlight the use of the homograft aortic root in these complicated cases,
and to report the occurrence of aorto-left atrial fistula in prosthetic
valve endocarditis.
