Aortic valve bypass for high-risk patients with symptomatic aortic
stenosis: a case report
Abstract
There are a significant number of symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS)
patients not referred to the traditional methods for some complexity
conditions. We described a case of a 61-year-old female with severe
symptomatic AS, calcific small aortic annulus (16.6 mm), narrow
porcelain ascending aorta (aortic root 14.6 mm, internal diameter 14.0
mm), chronic renal insufficiency and a history of previous sternotomy
for mechanical mitral valve replacement (MVR) and coronary artery bypass
grafting (CABG) who underwent aortic valve bypass (AVB) with favorable
results. AVB has been proposed as a complementary to surgery operation
of aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve
implantation (TAVI) in high-risk AS patients.
