The treatment of complicated aortic endocarditis with periannular abscesses and root disarrangement is a surgical challenge, and includes left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) reconstruction with the patch technique or homograft implantation. The results of a simplified technique to reconstruct the LVOT in destructive endocarditis of either the aortic native valve or valve prosthesis with the Sorin Pericarbon Freedom stentless valve are reported.
