Objective We present our experience of concomitant right coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and aortic valve replacement performed via a right minithoracotomy in patients with coronary lesions not amenable to percutaneous intervention. Methods A total of 17 patients underwent concomitant aortic valve replacement and right CABG between April 2008 and July 2013.A5-to 6-cm minithoracotomy incision was made over the right second or third intercostal space, and the costochondral cartilage was transected. A saphenous vein bypass to the right coronary artery was then performed, initiating the anastomosis from the toe of the graft. Subsequently, the aortic valve was replaced using standard techniques. Results There were 6 men and 11 women. The median European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II score mortality risk was 5% [interquartile range (IQR), 2%-8%]. The mean (SD) age was 77 (10) years, the left ventricular ejection fraction was 59% (8%), and the New York Heart Association functional class was 2.4 (0.8). One patient had a history of CABG. The mean (SD) cardiopulmonary bypass time was 168 (57) minutes, and the aortic cross-clamp time was 133 (36) minutes. Three patients underwent concomitant mitral valve surgery (replacement, 2; repair, 1). The median intensive care unit and hospital lengths of stay were 47 hours (IQR, 24–90) and 9 days (IQR, 5–13), respectively. There was one reoperation for bleeding, and there was one postoperative stroke. All patients were alive at a mean (SD) follow-up of 2 (1.1) years. Conclusions Aortic valve replacement with concomitant CABG performed via a right minithoracotomy approach is feasible.

Abstract Introduction Left ventricular (LV) thrombus is a complication of acute myocardial infarction and is associated with systemic thromboembolism. We describe a trans-aortic endoscopic approach to the removal of an LV thrombus in a patient undergoing concurrent coronary artery bypass grafting and aortic valve replacement. Case presentation A 47 year old male presented following an embolic middle cerebral artery stroke and underwent transthoracic echocardiography demonstrating a mobile LV thrombus. Additional investigation revealed a moderately stenosed bicispid aortic valve, two vessel coronary artery disease and ischemic cardiomyopathy. The patient underwent early surgery to reduce the risk of further embolic episodes. A trans-aortic approach was utilized with videoscopy and single shafted instrumentation to aide in removal of the thrombus. The patient then underwent aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting. Conclusion We report an alternative technique for the removal of a left ventricular thrombus in a patient undergoing concurrent coronary and aortic valve surgery. The transaortic video-assisted approach provided excellent visualisation of the apex and near complete removal of the thrombus without damaging the surrounding trabeculae. The main benefit of this technique is sparing of LV tissue, thereby preserving left ventricular function.

Aortic valve replacement is the second most common cardiac surgery procedure. Prosthesis-patient size mismatch can increase the incidence of adverse events postoperatively, it also leads to increased left ventricular load. Some studies describe the higher mortality in this group of patients. It is also proved that patients with severe aortic stenosis usually have impaired platelet aggregation and low von Willebrand factor causing bleeding disorders. We report a case of successful aortic valve replacement and aortic root enlargement (Nicks technique) combined with coronary artery bypass grafting (left internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending artery) and left atrial appendage resection in 73-y.o. obese female patient. Postoperative course was uneventful.

Cardiac Procedures

Aortic valve replacement and/or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have become the most common cardiac procedures as the population ages and life expectancy increases. In isolation, both CABG and aortic valve replacement are performed with excellent outcomes throughout the world with operative mortalities of 1–2%. Both procedures have seen significant advances in recent years. The combination of an aortic valve procedure and CABG adds increased complexity and risk, which must be accounted for during operative planning in order to mitigate as much of the increased risk as possible. Improvements in postoperative care, myocardial protection, and operative techniques for combined CABG and aortic valve replacement have resulted in an operative mortality of 0.8–6.4% in recent series.
