Bioconduit subannular implantation for aortic root endocarditis after previous cardiac surgery: Results from two Italian centers.

Considered the high-risk profile of the study cohort, our results suggest safety and efficacy of our approach at 1-year. Indeed, we contend that our subannular implantation of a 100% pericardial valved conduit, allowing an effective abscess exclusion and a conduit anchoring to healthy tissues, can reduce the risk of reinfection and dehiscence.
