Resum

This video tutorial  presents the reconstruction of the intervalvular fibrosa and a triple valve replacement, due to prosthetic valve endocarditis, in a patient with previous chest irradiation and bicuspid aortic valve replacement. Constrictive pericarditis was also present since the original operation. A detailed step-by-step demonstration of the reconstruction of the intervalvular fibrosa and debridement of extensive prosthetic valve endocarditis with paravalvular root abscess are provided.  A secondary sternotomy was performed and, in the process, the ascending aorta was injured, with associated life-threatening bleeding. Manual compression was applied while peripheral cannulation and cardiopulmonary bypass were started. The bleeding was controlled with cooling and circulatory arrest and the ascending aorta was replaced with a Dacron graft. The intervalvular fibrosa was reconstructed using a folded pericardial patch.  Aortic root replacement with a cryopreserved homograft was performed and the mitral and tricuspid valves were replaced with tissue valve prostheses. A complete pericardiectomy was performed. The chest was left packed with cotton due to diffuse bleeding. At the time of the delayed chest closure, a permanent epicardial pacemaker was implanted.
