Abstract:
A patient with aortic root abscess was successfully treated with a newly developed suture technique named "circumferential transmural sutures". This suture technique provides 1)a tight attachment of the prosthesis to the aortic wall and 2)a secure healing of infection by exposure of the abscess cavity to blood flow without complicated procedures. This technique would be a useful alternative for the aortic root abscess without left ventriculo-aortic disruption.
