Difficulty Weaning From Cardiopulmonary Bypass Following an Aortic Valve Replacement

Aortic valve replacement (AVR) remains the treatment of choice for severe aortic stenosis. Despite growing number transcatheter AVR (TAVR) in younger and intermediate-to-low-risk patients, surgical (SAVR) is widely used retains low operative mortality, rate complications, predictable long-term durability. Although it a straightforward procedure, on some occasions, surgeon could face challenging situations, such as compromised coronary flow an inability to wean patient from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Our required concomitant artery grafting overcome biventricular failure facilitate successful weaning CPB.
