This aortic valve replacement technique has become available only recently. In our experience, it can be mastered after a relatively short training period, and has become part of our routine clinical toolbox. The use of autologous pericardium in combination with excellent haemodynamics may have the potential to overcome the structural disadvantages of biological aortic valves, to be beneficial in infective endocarditis, and to represent an alternative for patients with small annuli.
