  • Title: [On pump beating heart mitral and tricuspid valve annuloplasty via right mini thoracotomy approach in a patient who had undergone cardiac surgery 3 times].

    Abstract:
    The patient was an 84-year-old man. He had a history of 3-time median sternotomy with a functioning coronary bypass graft. Because of his dependence on inotropic agents caused by a progressing mitral and tricuspid valve insufficiency, we decided to perform surgery. To avoid heart damage and injury to the bypass graft by adhesiotomy, we performed on-pump beating heart mitral and tricuspid valve annuloplasty via right mini-thoracotomy approach. He was discharged 16 days after surgery. The on-pump beating heart valve repair via right mini-thoracotomy approach was useful in a selected case with multiple surgeries.
