Abstract:
Objective To explore the application of left posterior lateral thoracotomy in the reoperation of mitral vavle. Methods Between April 1995 and April 2003, 11 cases of postoperative recurred mitral valve diseases received reoperation through a left posterior lateral thoracotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass via descending aorta for artery line and main pulmonary artery cannulation for venous line. Results There were no operative and post-operative deaths. The mean CPB time was 138 min. Blood loss of postoperation was less than 300ml in each patient. Conclusion Left posterior lateral thoracotomy in the reoperation of postoperative recurred mitral valve diseases had a minimal adhesiotomy. Extracorporeal circulation via descending aorta and main pulmonary artery cannulation proved easy to do and reliable. This operative approach was simple and safe.
