چکیده
Reoperation in patients with patent coronary artery bypass grafts behind the sternum is associated with a high risk of graft injury that may be life-threatening. We recently performed mitral valve replacement in a patient with patent coronary artery bypass grafts and grade IV mitral regurgitation. Surgery was safely performed with minimal adhesion dissection and modified Port-Access Technique using an aortic balloon.

On-Pump Beating Coronary Artery Bypass in High Risk Coronary Patients
Background: There are some conflicting results with Conventional Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts (CCABG) with arrested heart in coronary high-risk patients. Moreover, performing off-pump CABG in these cases may be associated with serious complications. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the on-pump beating CABG (OPBCABG) in coronary high-risk patients in comparison with th...

OBJECTIVE Repeat coronary artery bypass surgery has increased risks compared with the first operation, including low cardiac output and injury to patent grafts. The left thoracotomy approach has been advocated specifically in patients with intact grafts of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) needing lateral wall grafting. We have evaluat...

متن کاملHeart Valve Surgery in Patients with Patent Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts.
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...
