Beating-heart mitral valve reoperation on cardiopulmonary bypass was successfully performed in a 60-year-old man with a permanent pacemaker and prior double-valve replacement.
Case Report (n=1)
Beating-heart mitral valve reoperation can be successfully performed in patients with a prior double-valve replacement and a permanent pacemaker.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May inform select re-do mitral cases with pacemakers; leaves open safety and efficacy in larger cohorts.
A 60-year-old man with a history of a prior double-valve replacement (DVR) and permanent pacemaker implantation underwent mitral valve reoperation due to a paravalvular leak. Reoperation was performed on a beating heart (BH) on cardiopulmonary bypass, by perfusing the heart continuously with oxygenated noncardioplegic normothermic blood via the coronary sinus. We report the case of a patient who underwent mitral valve reoperation on a beating heart, 10 years after his first double-valve replacement and permanent pacemaker implantation.

Bardakçı et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Paravalvular leak after prior double-valve replacement and permanent pacemaker implantation (n=1). Beating-heart mitral valve reoperation on cardiopulmonary bypass was evaluated. Beating-heart mitral valve reoperation on cardiopulmonary bypass was successfully performed in a 60-year-old man with a permanent pacemaker and prior double-valve replacement.
