During valvular surgery, abnormal coronary distribution, especially if unidentified by preoperative exams, may put coronary arteries at risk of damage. In this case report, we describe the approach to an anomalous right coronary artery during aortic valve replacement.

Aortic valve replacement is the second most common cardiac surgery procedure. Prosthesis-patient size mismatch can increase the incidence of adverse events postoperatively, it also leads to increased left ventricular load. Some studies describe the higher mortality in this group of patients. It is also proved that patients with severe aortic stenosis usually have impaired platelet aggregation and low von Willebrand factor causing bleeding disorders. We report a case of successful aortic valve replacement and aortic root enlargement (Nicks technique) combined with coronary artery bypass grafting (left internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending artery) and left atrial appendage resection in 73-y.o. obese female patient. Postoperative course was uneventful.

Complications resulting from the delayed clinical presentation of a left main coronary artery obstruction can be catastrophic. This case report presents a 73-year-old woman with severe aortic stenosis who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement with a core valve who, approximately 20 minutes after heparin reversal with protamine, became hypotensive and was unresponsive to vasopressor and inotropic therapy. Transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated global hypokinesis, which was highly consistent with the occlusion of the left main coronary artery. Angiography confirmed this diagnosis and demonstrated that valve positioning had not changed compared to post-placement examination. Here we report the partial covering of the ostium of the left main coronary artery by a core valve skirt that converted into a total occlusion following the initiation of heparin reversal with protamine and the value of multimodal imaging in the management of this case.

The incidence of chylopericardium after cardiac surgery is unusual, but there are documented cases. Those caring for these patients need to be aware of the symptoms and management of chylopericardium because, if left untreated, it may cause catastrophic consequences.
