Case report demonstrates effective sutureless aortic valve use in aortic aneurysm patient with chronic kidney disease, suggesting improved surgical strategy.
Implanting sutureless aortic valves enables a reduction in surgical times and related complications. Nonetheless, their application has been limited in cases involving aortic aneurysms due to anchor system concerns. We present a case of aortic valve replacement using a Perceval™ sutureless aortic valve in a patient with stage IV chronic kidney disease, an ascending aortic aneurysm, and a porcelain aorta. The procedure was performed concomitantly with coronary artery bypass grafting involving two grafts, as well as ascending aorta and hemiarch replacement. This case underscores the critical importance of time efficiency, technical modifications for valve implantation, and strategic surgical planning to mitigate potential intraoperative and postoperative complications.
