Our goal was to describe a novel technique for reconstructing the aortomitral curtain using autologous tissue. This technique was performed on a patient who required replacement of both the aortic and mitral valves and the aortic root due to recurrent prosthetic valve infection and aortic root abscess. The aortomitral curtain was reconstructed without using any artificial patches. Instead, surrounding autologous tissues were used, including the residual healthy left atrial and aortic basal tissues. This patch-sparing technique may occasionally be feasible to perform and may serve as a secure anchor for subsequent aortic root replacement.
