Simultaneous aortic valve replacement and pectus excavatum correction in a 76-year-old man.

A 76-year-old man was admitted to our department to undergo surgical treatment for aortic valve regurgitation. On physical examination, a bowl-shaped concavity was noted. Chest computed tomography revealed left-sided heart displacement by severe pectus excavatum with a Haller index of 6.

Aortic valve replacement after previous coronary artery bypass grafting: a case report.

We experienced a case of aortic valve replacement after previous coronary artery bypass grafting with patent bypass grafts. Based on the retrosternal anatomy assessed by preoperative angiography and thoracic computed tomography, aortic valve replacement was performed through a median resternotomy. After careful dissection of the right side of the heart and the ascending aorta, cardiopulmonary bypass was established with cannulation of the ascending aorta and bicaval venous cannulation.

A case report of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting associated with recent neurological deficit.

A 77-year-old man with a history of cerebral infarction was admitted to our hospital with chest oppression. Coronary angiography revealed 2-vessel disease involving left main trunk. Coronary artery bypass grafting to left anterior descending artery and obtuse marginal branch was scheduled, but the patient developed hemiparesis and the scheduled coronary artery bypass grafting was postponed by at least one month.
