Subject: Joint replacement

There is an Exact-Fit hip replacement system. Try googling and seeing if there is a similar system from that company for the knee.

an "autograft cadaveric pulmonary valve replacement?" (sm)
Subject: an "autograft cadaveric pulmonary valve replacement?" (sm)

relatively new to cardiology- it sounds like the doc is saying that the patient is status post "aortic valve autograft cadaveric pulmonary valve replacement."

Am I just misunderstanding the terms, or am I mishearing what she's saying? I thought (could be mistaken?) that autograft meant it was grafted in from somewhere in your own body, and cadaveric meant it was taken from a cadaver. So how can a replacement be both autograft and cadaveric?
