  ABSTRACT: Objective: This study reports the outcomes of the cryopreserved mitral homograft in 119 patients prospectively followed with clinical, echocardiographic and structural valve deterioration assessments. Methods: 119 patients undergoing mitral and aortic homograft implantation. Patient’s causes of mitral disease were: rheumatic disease (n = 75), endocarditis (n = 37) and others (n = 7). There were 40 partial homografts and 88 total homografts. Mitro-aortic homograft valve replacement was performed in 29 cases. Results: Mean follow-up was 9.8 ± 6.3 years (up to 19.2 yrs). There were 7 early (2 p
