Key result
Aortic root replacement with cryopreserved aortic homografts in 11 high-risk patients resulted in a short-term operative mortality of 9.1% and complete resolution of aortic regurgitation.
Observational (n=11)
No
Aortic root replacement with cryopreserved homografts demonstrated acceptable short-term mortality (9.1%) and resolved regurgitation in a high-risk cohort primarily suffering from severe infectious endocarditis.

Supports consideration in high-risk endocarditis; leaves open durability and comparative effectiveness.
Motomura et al. (2002) conducted an observational in Infectious endocarditis and severe aortic regurgitation (n=11). Aortic root replacement with cryopreserved aortic homograft was evaluated on Short-term mortality. Aortic root replacement with cryopreserved aortic homografts in 11 high-risk patients resulted in a short-term operative mortality of 9.1% and complete resolution of aortic regurgitation.
