  • Title: Concurrent Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement and Coronary Artery Bypass via Limited Right Anterior Thoracotomy.
    Author: Lewis CT, Stephens RL, Cline JL, Tyndal CM.
    Journal: Innovations (Phila); 2015; 10(4):273-5. PubMed ID: 26355689.
    Abstract:
    An 89-year-old man and an 80-year-old woman were treated surgically for critical aortic stenosis secondary to senile calcific aortic disease and high-grade calcified lesions in the ostium of the right coronary artery. Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement and concurrent coronary artery bypass grafting were performed concurrently through a 5-cm right anterior thoracotomy in the second intercostal space. Surgery was uncomplicated in both cases, with no adverse events. Both patients were alive and well at midterm follow-up. Concurrent minimally invasive aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting can be performed successfully through a limited right anterior thoracotomy.
