Patch enlargement of the aortic and the mitral valve rings with aortic- mitral double-valve replacement

S Manouguian and PG Kirchhoff

In 1 patient, patch enlargement of the aortic valve ring was accomplished by extending the aortic incision into the anterior mitral leaflet. The pericardial patch broke from the aortic leaflet of the mitral valve on the fourth postoperative day. The resultant acute mitral incompetence necessitated mitral valve replacement also. An aortic-mitral double-valve replacement with attendent enlargement of both the aortic and mitral valve rings ensued. To our knowledge, enlargement of the aortic and mitral valve rings with aortic-mitral double-valve replacement has not been described in the literature.
