Abstract

Mitral valve replacement was performed through a right thoracotomy using femorofemoral bypass under profound systemic hypothermia in a 62-year-old man who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting using both internal thoracic arteries. The right thoracotomy approach minimizes the risk of injury to the arterial grafts, and deep hypothermia obviates the need to interrupt the grafts to administer cardioplegia. This technique provides excellent exposure of the mitral valve while minimizing the operative risk.
