ABSTRACT

Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) is a treatment for high risk patients with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS). Rapid pacing is needed to reduce cardiac output when dilating the balloon, but it may cause cardiac ischemia or lethal arrhythmia. In this case report, percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS) was used to prevent these complications with BAV. We achieved adequate blood pressure and cardiac output during BAV without using rapid pacing by drawing a certain amount of blood into the reservoir equipped with the PCPS circuit. When performing BAV, PCPS may be a useful option for the patients who have high risks of circulatory failure.

ABSTRACT

A 25-year-old man with a previous diagnosis of congenital bicuspid aortic valve presented with a fever of unknown origin for 3 months. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed vegetation on the mitral valve leaflet. Transesohageal echocardiography revealed severe aortic regurgitation and a mitral valve leaflet aneurysm. Despite intensive antibiotic therapy, his clinical condition did not improve, so he underwent aortic and mitral valve repair. The aortic valve was shown to be unicuspid intraoperatively. We made a new commissure, then mitral valve aneurysm was resected and a new leaflet was made using the pericardium. There was almost no regurgitation seen on postoperative echocardiography.
