Aortic Valve Replacement for Patients with Functioning Internal Mammalian Artery Grafts.

چکیده
Aortic valve replacement (AVR) for patients with functioning internal mammalian artery (ITA) grafts is technically challenging, and the optimal treatment strategy for these situations remains controversial. Here, we report five cases of AVR with ITA graft using continuous retrograde cardioplegia in addition to moderate hypothermia without the clamping of ITA and discuss the management of these cases.

We read a paper by Masaki et al.1) regarding a patient who underwent aortic valve replacement with functioning internal mammalian artery grafts. The authors used continuous retrograde cardioplegia in addition to moderate hypothermia without the clamping of the functioning grafts. As the authors mentioned in the Discussion, the operative mortality rate associated with redo aortic valve replaceme...

BACKGROUND The operation of aortic valve replacement (AVR) after CABG is a technically challenging procedure in respect to dissection of living grafts from its surrounding tissue, myocardial protection, and so on, especially that procedure to patients with living in situ functional arterial grafts to occluded native coronary arteries has a special problem in regard to myocardial protection beca...

We present a technique for replacement of the aortic valve in selected patients undergoing redo surgery in the presence of patent coronary artery bypass grafts and occluded native coronary arteries that affords optimal myocardial protection, limited dissection of the heart and minimal risk of injury to existing grafts, in particular, the internal mammary artery.
متن کاملReoperative aortic valve replacement through upper hemisternotomy.
Reoperative aortic valve replacement (AVR) has become increasingly common (1). In patients with previous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), minimally invasive reoperative AVR is the preferred approach since it allows the performance of no-touch technique for left internal mammary artery (LIMA) and minimal dissection around the vein grafts (2,3). Here, we present an 83-year-old man with sym...
