Mitral valve repair for a patient with presternal esophageal reconstruction

Abstract

A 68-year-old man presented with dyspnea and pulsation. He had a history of esophagectomy and presternal gastric tube reconstruction for esophageal cancer 1 year earlier. Electrocardiography revealed atrial fibrillation, and an echocardiogram showed severe mitral valve regurgitation and moderate tricuspid valve regurgitation. He underwent mitral valve repair, tricuspid valve annuloplasty, and isolation of bilateral pulmonary veins via a standard median sternotomy. The mitral and tricuspid valves were evaluated by epicardial echocardiography, and both valves were successfully repaired. The postoperative course was uneventful. The patient was discharged without any complications 6 days after the operation.
