Abstract Bicoronary - pulmonary artery fistulae are rare conditions. Their association with mitral valve prolapse is even rarer and randomly reported. This association is important to be recognized in clinical practice because of the differential diagnose problems. Closing the coronary fistulae and mitral valve replacement during the same surgical procedure is probably the optimal management of these patients. We report a case involving the correction of congenital bicoronarypulmonary artery fistulae and mitral valve replacement within the same surgical procedure in a 56 years old female patient with angina and clinical signs of left ventricular failure associating the fistulae to severe mitral regurgitation due to mitral valve prolapse. Past medical history revealed autoimmune thyroiditis, atrial fibrillation, mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation. At admission physical examination revealed stable vital signs, irregular tachycardia with significant pulse and a mitral regurgitation systolic murmur. ECG showed atrial fibrillation, no ischemia. Echocardiography revealed severe mitral regurgitation, prolapse of anterior and posterior mitral leaflets, moderate tricuspid valve regurgitation, and mild pulmonary hypertension. Coronary angiogram showed no significant lesions of the epicardial vessels but high flow congenital bicoronary-pulmonary fistulae (right coronary artery and left coronary artery to main pulmonary artery). Surgical correction of the congenital bicoronarypulmonary fistulae was performed simultaneously with mitral valve replacement in the same session. Postsurgical evolution was uneventful. Post-procedural ECG showed atrial fibrillation with a controlled heart rate, postoperative echocardiography showed normal functional and normal positioned prosthetic mitral mechanical valve, and rather normal left ventricle function. Coexistence of bicoronary-pulmonary fistulae and mitral valve insufficiency due to prolapse in a symptomatic patient with angina pectoris is a very rare clinical entity. Solving both abnormalities within the same surgical procedure was the optimal management for this patient.

Abstract BACKGROUNDː This study compared the perioperative and follow-up period data of patients who underwent redo tricuspid valve replacements performed via thoracoscopic surgery or median sternotomy. The purpose was to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and surgical outcomes of redo tricuspid valve replacement via uni-port thoracoscopic surgery. METHODSː Forty-nine patients with severe tricuspid valve regurgitation after left-side valve replacement underwent redo tricuspid valve replacements in our hospital from April 2012 to September 2019. 26 patients underwent uni-port total thoracoscopy surgery, whereas 23 patients had the surgery performed via median sternotomy. We collected perioperative and 3- to 36-month postoperative data. RESULTSː No deaths occurred in the intraoperative period. Time of cardiopulmonary bypass in the study group was significantly longer than that in the control group (P<0.05), but the operative times in the study and control groups were not significantly different. Thoracic drainage, length of ICU stay, postoperative hospital stay and complication rates in the study group were significantly different from those in the control group (P<0.05). Throughout the follow-up period, uni-port total thoracoscopic TVR is not inferior to traditional surgery with respect to cardiac function and recurrence of tricuspid valve regurgitation. CONCLUSIONSː Uni-port total thoracoscopic tricuspid valve replacement is safe, feasible and effective, and that can be considered as a primary treatment strategy for patients with severe TR after previous left-sided valve procedure.

A 58-year-old woman with a history of childhood acute rheumatic fever and resultant mitral valve stenosis was admitted to our cardiovascular surgery clinic complaining of tachycardia, dyspnea, and chest pain. After clinical and radiological findings were evaluated, mitral valve replacement, tricuspid De Vega annuloplasty and plication, and resection of giant left atrium were performed. Atrial thrombus was removed from the top of the left atrial wall. Operation material considered as thrombus was sent to a pathology laboratory for histopathological examination. It was diagnosed with mesothelial/monocytic incidental cardiac lesion (cardiac MICE). Microscopic sections revealed that morphological features of the lesion were different from thrombus. The lesion was composed of a cluster of histiocytoid cells with abundant cytoplasm and oval shaped nuclei and epithelial-like cells resembling mesothelial cells within a fibrin network. Epithelial-like cells formed a papillary configuration in the focal areas. Mitotic figures were absent. Here we present a case which was incidentally found in a patient who underwent mitral valve replacement surgery, as a thrombotic lesion on the left atrium wall.

Abstract Background Rheumatic mitral valvular disease is more common than degenerative mitral valve disease. Mitral valve repair is not possible in large number of patients because of rheumatic cicatrized subvalvular mitral valve disease. The prosthetic mitral valve replacement is commonly performed in our center. Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate and assess the short outcome of Mitral Valve Replacement with or without Tricuspid Valve Repair. Patients and Methods This study was done in department of Cardiothoracic surgery, Faculty of Medicine at Ain Shams university, after approval of the local ethical committee from 2015 to 2016.The inclusion criteria includes All gender, All age, Primary Mitral valve replacement for severe Mitral valve disease of Rheumatic origin with or without Tricuspid Valve Repair and Primary Mitral valve replacement for severe Mitral valve disease of Degenerative origin with or without Tricuspid Valve Repair and the exclusion criteria includes concomitant coronary artery bypass graft surgery or other cardiac operations or infective endocarditis and Patients with chronic liver, kidney and parenchymal pulmonary disease. Results This study included one hundred and seventy- seven (177) patients; One hundred and thirty one (131) patients did Mitral Valve Replacement without Tricuspid valve Repair, Fourty six (46) patients did Mitral valve Replacement with Tricuspid valve Repair and the outcome was Mortality (3.9%), Reoperaion (5.08%), Stroke (0. 56%), Re-Intubation (1.13%) and Re-Admission to ICU (1.69%) Conclusion The Reoperation has a direct relation and effect on the Mortality,Prolonged bypass time independently predicts postoperative morbidity and mortality and Prolonged aortic cross-clamp time significantly correlates with major post-operative morbidity and mortality.
