pubmed:abstractText
A 76-year-old woman had severe aortic stenosis on transthoracic echocardiography [aortic valve area (AVA): 0.7 cm2, max pressure gradient (PG): 108 mmHg]. Since she was on radiation therapy for breast cancer, we considered that median sternotomy was a risk factor for mediastinitis, and right thoracotomy was chosen for aortic valve replacement. The operation was performed through a right anterolateral thoracotomy. Cardiopulmonary bypass was established with right femoral artery cannulation, right atrial cannulation, and right superior pulmonary vein cannulation for venting. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. This method appears to be an alternative approach for aortic valve replacement in patients that are not suitable candidates for median sternotomy.
