Minor experience still exists in our country with regard to the use of valve homografts in cardiac surgery. Only a few implantations have been performed in cases of right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction in addition to our own experience in cases of infective endocarditis of the aortic valve. We present a case of aortic valve replacement by using an antibiotic-sterilized fresh pulmonary valve autograft. The case is described and the possible advantages of the use of pulmonary allografts in the aortic position are discussed.
