Abstract
- The pulmonic autograft as a replacement for the diseased aortic valve has become increasingly popular due to the potential to do away with anticoagulation and superior durability. There has not been any case of mitral valve replacement with pulmonic autograft reported in Korea. A 53-year-old female patient with rheumatic mitral steno-insufficiency, chronic atrial fibrillation, tricuspid insufficiency, and obstruction of the left circumflex artery, received mitral valve replacement using pulmonic autograft, maze procedure, tricuspid valvuloplasty and coronary artery bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful with a well functioning pulmonic autograft in the mitral position on echocardiogram. She is currently doing well without anticoagulation.
