The incorporated aortomitral homograft for double-valve endocarditis: the ‘hemi-Commando’ procedure. Early and mid-term outcomes†

Abstract

Compared to double-valve replacement with IVF reconstruction ('Commando operation'), the early and mid-term outcomes of the hemi-Commando procedure proved to be a feasible treatment option for IVF reconstruction, enabling preservation of the mitral valve and the subvalvular apparatus in high-risk patients with invasive double-valve IE.
