    Abstract:
    A case of open heart surgery of Basedow's disease was presented. A 46-year-old female was admitted for mitral regurgitation with heart failure. She suffered from Basedow's disease ten years ago, and was treated with MMI. With this treatment, her thyroid function became normal and did well over the last four years. When open heart surgery (MVR) was performed, examination of her thyroid gland revealed mild hypothyroidism, and the operation could be performed without any thyroidal trouble. We conclude, in case of heart disease with Basedow's disease, the operation can be performed without any thyroidal trouble if the thyroid function is controlled well to euthyroid for a long term. Euthyroid condition lasted 4 years in this case.
