The optimal surgical management of simultaneous abdominal aortic aneurysm and cardiac disease remains a major challenge in case of larger aneurysms and severe cardiac disease.

Abstract
The optimal surgical management of simultaneous abdominal aortic aneurysm and cardiac disease remains a major challenge in case of larger aneurysms and severe cardiac disease. In case of symptomatic aneurysms or impending rupture, a single-stage combined operation is the most widely accepted procedure. We report the successful use of closed-chest cardiopulmonary bypass, with femoral venous and axillary arterial peripheral cannulation, to support cardiac function on the beating heart during resection of a giant abdominal aortic aneurysm and ischaemic cardiomyopathy. One month later, the patient underwent a second-stage deferred cardiac operation, consisting of triple coronary bypass grafting, undersized mitral annuloplasty and epicardial left ventricular lead implantation for cardiac resynchronisation therapy.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
