Following the report of Hufnagel and Harvey8) in 1952, the treatment of aortic incompe-tence by aortic valve replacement has become a standard procedure for more than a decade10). Occasionally, the prosthetic valve becomes infected and the resistant endocarditis necessitates an urgent surgical replacement and re-replacement in the most unfavourable situations where the tissue is mushy, edematous and friable. The incidence of dehescence of the valve and the risk of surgery in these critical circumstances are well documented5,6). An alternative operation as a bypass was decribed in 1963 by Al-Naaman2,3) and was successfully performed on the first clinical case with two years follow up4）. This forgotten operation to be described might be an alternative procedure for such difficult situations.
