Reoperative 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...
متن کاملSuperior vena cava cannulation in aortic valve surgery: an alternative strategy for a hemisternotomy approach.
Minimally invasive aortic surgery is increasingly being utilized, in particular, through ministernotomy. The choice of the cannulation site is problematic. Venous cannulation may result in wound complications if the femoral vein is used, or may be bulky if the right atrial appendage is used. Our technique of superior vena cava cannulation not only avoids the risk of complications related to the...
متن کاملMinimal access tricuspid valve surgery.
The minimally invasive, right mini-thoracotomy technique described can be applied to patients that require a concomitant tricuspid valve repair or replacement at the time of a mitral valve procedure. This has been the most common scenario where tricuspid valve surgery is performed. This approach is applicable to patients requiring isolated tricuspid valve surgery. In addition, patients who have...
متن کاملRedo aortic valve replacement after partial upper sternotomy (hemisternotomy) in a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenia: a case report

This is the first report of this kind in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION A 62 year old Caucasian male farmer with thrombocytopenia had uneventful redo aortic valve replacement when the first xenograft failed after...
متن کاملAortic valve surgery as an emergency procedure.
