Abstract
A 56-year-old man underwent surgery for treatment of severe calcific aortic stenosis. Because it was found after excision of the aortic valve that calcification of the annulus was too extensive for the placement of sutures, translocation of the aortic valve was performed. The results were satisfactory and indicate that translocation is a useful alternative in cases of severe calcification of the aortic valve which cannot be treated by ordinary valve replacement.Entities:
