Successful surgical repair in a patient with mitral stenosis, calcified left atrium and severe tricuspid regurgitation with a giant right atrium.

Successful mitral valve replacement and tricuspid annuloplasty were performed on a 66-year-old woman who had a calcified left atrium, giant right atrium, calcified mural thrombus and normal pulmonary pressures. Successful repair in such cases depends on an adequate preoperative investigation and a surgical approach tailored to the individual.

[Mitral valve replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass which complicated by multiple sclerosis: a case report].

The 60-year-old women who complicated by multiple sclerosis was referred to our hospital under diagnosis of mitral valve stenosis and tricuspid valve regurgitation. The mitral valve replacement and the tricuspid valve annuloplasty were performed under cardiopulmonary bypass. In the state of multiple sclerosis, even an operation by general anesthesia could become a cause of abrupt change, but by appropriate management during and after surgery, the post operative course was uneventful without any complications, and the patient discharged on the 35th post operative day.

[Effectiveness of adenosine as a pulmonary vasodilator during weaning from extracorporeal circulation after mitral valve replacement in a patient with severe pulmonary hypertension].

A 75-year-old woman with mitral stenosis and tricuspid insufficiency underwent mitral valve replacement surgery. After insertion of a catheter into the pulmonary artery, upper respiratory system pressure was seen to rise above systemic arterial pressure. To relax the pulmonary vessel, we administered adenosine, a drug that is metabolized rapidly during its first pass through the lungs before hypotension or other adverse side effects occur systemically. Adenosine decreased pulmonary artery pressure and vascular resistance, optimizing right cardiac function with successful output to extracorporeal circulation.

[A successful two-staged Fontan procedure for tricuspid atresia with bilateral superior venae cavae and left pulmonary arterial stenosis].

A 10-year-old boy with tricuspid atresia (type I-b), bilateral superior venae cavae and left pulmonary arterial branch stenosis was treated successfully by a two-staged Fontan procedure. At 7 years of age, left Glenn shunt was performed after creation of a communicating vessel between the right and left superior vena cava, using a GORE-TEX graft of 10 mm of diameter. Three years later, after having confirmed graft patency, Fontan procedure was achieved without any problems. We think the innominate vein creation by an artificial material was a key design for the following successful two-staged Fontan procedure in this case.

Surgical management of carcinoid heart disease.

Two female patients with carcinoid heart disease, ages 56 and 32 years, underwent pulmonic valve resection surgery and tricuspid valve replacement with a porcine bioprosthesis. Preoperatively, both patients were in function class 4 with severe right-side congestive failure and signs of tricuspid regurgitation and pulmonic stenosis. Both underwent surgery for porcine tricuspid valve replacement (33 and 31 mm valves) and pulmonic valve resection. Postoperatively, both patients had only minimal symptoms, including trace ankle edema and soft pulmonic murmurs, despite persistence of the systemic symptoms of carcinoid syndrome. Pre- and postoperative catheterization data documented hemodynamic improvements. One patient eventually died of hepatic failure due to metastatic disease. At autopsy, her bioprosthesis was free of carcinoid valvular changes.
