Aortic valve surgery after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the setting of patent pedicled internal mammary artery (IMA) grafts poses a high risk because of the underlying ischemic and valve disease. Unlike mitral valve surgery or CABG, in which aortic clamping (AoX) may be optional, aortic valve surgery uniformly requires AoX unless circulatory arrest is used. Management of the IMA graft in these circumstances has traditionally involved dissection and clamping to prevent regional myocardial warming and cardioplegia "washout" during AoX. An alternative strategy involves avoiding dissection of the IMA, leaving the IMA graft open and establishing moderate-to-deep hypothermia during AoX and cardioplegic arrest. To date, no study has been published documenting the safety and efficacy of the latter practice.
