Prosthetic valve endocarditis, especially when complicated by an aortic root abscess and a left ventricular outflow tract rupture, is a life-threatening condition. We present a case of infective prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis with a ruptured left ventricular outflow tract successfully treated with a root-commando operation using a secure anastomosis for reconstruction of the damaged aortic annulus.
