We present a modified technique for replacement of the pulmonary valve with a pulmonary homograft. The principles of this technique are similar to the “scalloped subcoronary technique” for aortic valve replacement with a homograft. The advantages of using this technique in the pulmonary position are briefly discussed . (J Card Surg 2011;26:144‐147)
