ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for replacing both the native mitral valve and the native aortic valve in a heart with a stentless bioprosthetic graft is provided. The bioprosthetic graft comprises a harvested homograft that includes a mitral valve portion and an aortic valve portion, and an extension portion made of a biocompatible material. The extension portion is sutured to the homograft and is for suturing to the left atrial wall of the heart to close an incision in the left atrial wall following implantation of the mitral valve portion and the aortic valve portion of the homograft.
