  • Title: Complete extra-anatomic bypass of the aortic root: treatment of recurrent mediastinal infection.
    Author: Bove EL, Parker FB, Marvasti MA, Randall PA.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1983 Dec; 86(6):932-4. PubMed ID: 6645597.
    Abstract:
    A 45-year-old woman underwent complete extra-anatomic bypass of the aortic root for recurrent mediastinal infection. Operative repair consisted of removal of an aortic valve prosthesis and an ascending aortic graft. The aortic root and transverse aortic arch were closed primarily and a valved conduit was placed from the left ventricular apex to the descending aorta. Coronary flow was reestablished with saphenous vein grafts taken from the innominate and subclavian arteries to the coronary artery orifices. Infection did not recur, but the patient died 9 months following operation apparently of right coronary artery graft occlusion.
