Summary: | A 70-year-old man with severe multivalvular disease, atrial fibrillation, and kyphoscoliosis, had Cheyne-Stokes respiration with central sleep apnea. After triple-valve surgery with the maze procedure, adjunctive adaptive servo-ventilation therapy was initiated on the first postoperative day and continued seamlessly in the postoperative period. Seamless adaptive servo-ventilation therapy as an adjunct to triple-valve surgery is more likely to prevent heart failure remodeling without worsening of pulmonary hypertension and recurrence of atrial fibrillation. |
