May warrant consideration to preserve homograft geometry; leaves open need for prospective validation before practice change.
A modified technique for trimming and inserting the aortic homograft valve is described. This altered free-hand technique is designed to maintain normal spacial geometry of the valve apparatus in order to reduce the risk of early homograft valve incompetence.
