Hypothermic ischemic arrest may reduce perioperative infarction risk in combined AVR-revascularization; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of optimal protection.
Does combined aortic valve replacement and myocardial revascularization, along with specific myocardial protection strategies, provide acceptable survival and perioperative outcomes in patients with coexisting lesions?
Combined aortic valve replacement and myocardial revascularization yields acceptable survival rates, with hypothermic ischemic arrest and potassium-induced cardioplegia providing superior myocardial protection against perioperative infarction.
