Primary tissue failure is a major problem with pericardial or porcine heterografts, and the causes of calcification of the tissue are not yet known. The deterioration of bioprostheses may be due in part to immunologic response. Using autologous tissue is a current approach of research. We present a case of replacement of the aortic valve using an original procedure with autologous pericardium.
