Novel Commando procedure reconstructs the aortomitral curtain using the mitral sewing ring to anchor the neo-aortic root.
Case Report
Presents a novel surgical technique for aortomitral curtain reconstruction during double-valve replacement by anchoring the neo-aortic root to the mitral sewing ring.
Novel anchoring technique for neo-aortic root reconstruction; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.
The first aortic and mitral valve replacement via an aortotomy was reported by Carmichael and colleagues1 in 1983. David and colleagues used the same exposure in 19972 to pioneer what came to be named the Commando procedure, which is to reconstruct the aortomitral curtain to allow double-valve replacement in cases of infective endocarditis. Here, we present a novel iteration of this procedure using the mitral sewing ring as an anchor for the neo-aortic root.

Elde et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Infective endocarditis. Constructing a neo-aortic root by anchoring to the sewing ring of the replaced mitral valve was evaluated. A novel iteration of the Commando procedure was presented, which reconstructs the aortomitral curtain by using the mitral sewing ring as an anchor for the neo-aortic root.
