Minimally Invasive Approach for Redo Mitral Valve Replacement: No Aortic Cross-Clamping and No Cardioplegia
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 75-year-old woman who had previously undergone a double valve replacement was admitted to Asan Medical Center because of severe bioprosthetic mitral valve dysfunction and tricuspid regurgitation. Under hypothermic fibrillatory arrest without aortic cross-clamping, minimally invasive mitral and tricuspid valve surgery was performed via a right minithoracotomy.

Warm, beating heart aortic valve replacement in a sickle cell patient.
Patients with sickle cell abnormalities undergoing surgery are generally considered to be at greater risk for perioperative complications. We present a 25-year-old woman with sickle cell disease (SCD) and severe aortic insufficiency. A minimally invasive, warm, beating heart approach was adopted to try and minimize the risk of sickling due to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), low-flow states, cold ...

INTRODUCTION In this article we would like to make an institutional report and our early experience in video-assisted right minithoracotomy approach for mitral valve surgery. CASE REPORT Surgical technique include mitral valve repair or replacement through right lateral minithoracotomy, percutaneous cannulation for venous drainage and optional femoral or distal ascendant aortic cannulation fo...

We read with great interest the recent article by Vollroth et al. [1], describing their experience with conversion to sternotomy during minimally invasive mitral surgery. The authors are to be congratulated on the low incidence of conversion (1%) that they have reported. The high early mortality (23.5%) associated with conversion in their series remains a reminder of the gravity of such an occu...
متن کاملExcellent outcomes in a case of complex re-do surgery requiring prolonged cardioplegia using a new cardioprotective approach: adenocaine.
A 71-year-old high-risk fourth-time redo male patient was diagnosed with prosthetic valve endocarditis of both aortic and mitral valves, and subsequently required a re-operative aortic and mitral valve replacement. He was placed on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and arrested with normothermic hyperkalemic all-blood cardioplegia (microplegia) containing adjunctive adenosine-lidocaine-magnesium (ad...
متن کاملCurrent concepts for minimally invasive mitral valve repair
Minimally invasive mitral valve repair is based on several procedural concepts. Recently, three of them have been intensively discussed: aortic occlusion strategy, use of Goretex-Neo-Chordae to repair mitral valve regurgitation and feasibility and efficacy of the minithoracotomy approach in mitral valve treatment of patients after previous cardiac surgery. Twenty years of experience in minimall...
