Aortic valve endocarditis may be destructive and cause an
acquired Gerbode-type defect. The use of biological material in
the closure of the Gerbode defect and reconstruction of the aortic
valve is essential for both early and long-term survival. Herein,
we present a 62-year-old male patient whose Gerbode defect
was repaired with bovine pericardium. Additionally, the aortic
valve was reconstructed by using bovine pericardium with Ozaki
neocuspidization technique.
