Cаse 1 Preоperаtive Diаgnоsis: Aоrtic valve stenosis with coronary artery disease associated with congestive heart failure Postoperative Diagnosis: Same Procedure: Aortic valve replacement, coronary artery bypass graft with harvesting of the saphenous vein and the radial artery. Anesthesia: General endotracheal Incision: Median sternotomy Description of Procedure: The patient was brought to the operating room and placed in supine position. After the patient was prepared, median sternotomy incision was carried out and conduits were taken from the left arm as well as the right thigh. She was cannulated after the aorta and atrium were exposed and after full heparinization. She went on cardiopulmonary bypass, and the aortic cross-clamp was applied. Cardioplegia was delivered through the coronary sinuses in a retrograde manner. The patient was cooled to 32 degrees. Iced slush was applied to the heart. The aortic valve was then exposed through the aortic root by transverse incision. The valve leaflets were removed, and the 23 St. Jude mechanical valve was secured into position by circumferential pledgeted sutures. At this point, aortotomy was closed. Attention was turned to the coronary arteries. The first obtuse marginal artery was a very large target and the vein graft to this target indeed produced an excellent amount of flow. Proximal anastomosis was then carried out to the foot of the aorta. The radial artery was anastomosed to the left anterior descending artery target in an end-to-side manner. The proximal anastomosis was then carried out to the root of the aorta. The patient came off cardiopulmonary bypass after aortic cross-clamp was released. She was adequately warmed. Protamine was given without adverse effect. Sternal closure was then done using wires. The subcutaneous layers were closed using Vicryl suture. The skin was approximated using staples.
