Abstract

Patients with a severely calcified (porcelain) aorta are often
unsuitable candidates for cardiac surgery because of the
high risk of neuroembolic complications from loose calcified
particles.We describe a surgical technique in a patient
with a porcelain aorta undergoing an aortic homograft
replacement for infective endocarditis that used an oscillating
saw and a surgical hand drill for suturing the calcified
plates.
