Deep Hypothermic Arrest for Aortic Valve Replacement in Case of Porcelain Aorta

A 71-year-old man presented with severe aortic stenosis and a heavily calcified aorta. Cardiopulmonary bypass was established with arterial cannula via the distal aortic arch. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and retrograde cerebral perfusion were initiated for excision of the ascending aorta. A...

Description
Summary:A 71-year-old man presented with severe aortic stenosis and a heavily calcified aorta. Cardiopulmonary bypass was established with arterial cannula via the distal aortic arch. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and retrograde cerebral perfusion were initiated for excision of the ascending aorta. A tube graft was anastomosed to the proximal aortic arch, circulation was reestablished, the aortic valve was replaced with a bioprosthesis, and proximal anastomosis to the sinotubular junction was preformed.
