    Author: Ichihara T, Yoshida T, Hayama Y, Misumi K.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 2000 Jul; 53(8 Suppl):691-3. PubMed ID: 10935388.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of 67-year-old male who underwent reoperative mitral valve replacement through the right thoracotomy. He had undergone primary double valve replacement with mechanical valve for aortic valve and tissue valve for mitral valve respectively, and tricuspid annular plasty 11 years ago. The second operation was performed through the right thoracotomy under moderately hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. The mechanical valve was replaced via right side of left atrium approach under ventricular fibrilation at 25 centigrade of bladder temperature. He recovered well without any major complications.
