摘　　要：To the editor： Active aortic endocarditis is a life-threateningdisease associated with considerable morbidity and mortality.According to the American College （ACC）/American Heart Association （ALIA） of Cardiology guidelines for management of patients with heart valve disease, surgical treatment of active native valve endocarditis （NVE） should preferably consist of valve repair because of the risk of infection of prosthetic materials.2 Although homografts are considered as a good option, particularly when there is extensive destruction of surrounding tissue,s homografts are difficult to obtain in China. We report a successful case of triple cusps replacement with bovine pericardium for active aortic endocarditis.To the editor： Active aortic endocarditis is a life-threateningdisease associated with considerable morbidity and mortality.According to the American College （ACC）/American Heart Association （ALIA） of Cardiology guidelines for management of patients with heart valve disease, surgical treatment of active native valve endocarditis （NVE） should preferably consist of valve repair because of the risk of infection of prosthetic materials.2 Although homografts are considered as a good option, particularly when there is extensive destruction of surrounding tissue,s homografts are difficult to obtain in China.
