Background: A 47-year-old male presented with retrosternal chest pain, which had started 4 days previously and had become excruciating for the past 6 h. He had undergone mechanical aortic valve replacement surgery 4 months previously. Investigation: Electrocardiography, echocardiography, computed tomography-angiography of the aorta. Diagnosis: Rupture of the right sinus of Valsalva and right coronary artery dissection. Management: The defect in the right coronary sinus was closed, and the dissection at the root of the right coronary artery was resected and the right coronary artery bypassed to the root of the aorta.

A 56-year-old man was referred because of severe aortic regurgitation. He had a quadricuspid aortic valve with a small accessory cusp between the right coronary and noncoronary cusps. The ostium of the right coronary artery was deviated toward the accessory cusp commissure. Aortic valve replacement was performed with a bioprosthesis. The resected cusps showed fibrotic thickening with calcification and fenestration.

Objective We present our experience of concomitant right coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and aortic valve replacement performed via a right minithoracotomy in patients with coronary lesions not amenable to percutaneous intervention. Methods A total of 17 patients underwent concomitant aortic valve replacement and right CABG between April 2008 and July 2013.A5-to 6-cm minithoracotomy incision was made over the right second or third intercostal space, and the costochondral cartilage was transected. A saphenous vein bypass to the right coronary artery was then performed, initiating the anastomosis from the toe of the graft. Subsequently, the aortic valve was replaced using standard techniques. Results There were 6 men and 11 women. The median European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II score mortality risk was 5% [interquartile range (IQR), 2%-8%]. The mean (SD) age was 77 (10) years, the left ventricular ejection fraction was 59% (8%), and the New York Heart Association functional class was 2.4 (0.8). One patient had a history of CABG. The mean (SD) cardiopulmonary bypass time was 168 (57) minutes, and the aortic cross-clamp time was 133 (36) minutes. Three patients underwent concomitant mitral valve surgery (replacement, 2; repair, 1). The median intensive care unit and hospital lengths of stay were 47 hours (IQR, 24–90) and 9 days (IQR, 5–13), respectively. There was one reoperation for bleeding, and there was one postoperative stroke. All patients were alive at a mean (SD) follow-up of 2 (1.1) years. Conclusions Aortic valve replacement with concomitant CABG performed via a right minithoracotomy approach is feasible.
