Fibrous skeleton endocarditis: repair using Konno procedure

MD Black, VM Walley and WJ Keon
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University of Ottawa Heart Institute, Ottawa Civic Hospital, Ontario, Canada.

Information about the surgical management of fibrous skeleton endocarditis is incomplete, as the vast majority of current literature describes the isolated repair of either the aortic or the mitral annulus, the combination rarely being addressed. Annular destruction, in the presence of endocarditis, demands extreme ingenuity for surgical treatment and cure. We describe and illustrate the Konno procedure for replacement of both infected mitral and aortic valves and repair of mycotic ventricular septal defects.
