RESUMO

"Homovital" allografts (viable homografts) are a good substitute for native aortic valves. A case of aortic valve replacement with a homovital aortic allograft is reported along with the results of immunologic investigations. Postoperatively, there was no clinical or echocardiographic evidence of valve dysfunction, and immunologic tests did not show evidence of graft versus host reaction.
