    AbstractSinotubular junction reconstruction in reimplantation type of valve-sparing aortic procedure can present some problem when a Valsalva graft is used. Since in the Valsalva graft the sinotubular junction height is predetermined, correct matching with native commissures height can be difficult. We propose a method by which it is possible to create a new sinotubular junction in Valsalva graft without altering its original configuration.
