ABSTRACT
We present the case of a 62-year-old female with a diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta and mitral valve regurgitation. The patient underwent a mitral valve repair without complications. We describe the case and our surgical technique.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation by an apical approach has been developed as an alternative to conventional aortic valve replacement. Complications with these relatively new procedures are being reported. We report a case of transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation, in which a pseudoaneurysm at the apex of the left ventricle as a complication of the procedure developed in the patient and was treated without surgery. The defect spontaneously closed.

There is a lack of published information about intraoperative and postoperative course of cardiac surgery in patients with essential thrombocytosis using cardiopulmonary bypass. Both risks of intraoperative thrombosis of extracorporeal conduits or uncontrolled postoperative bleeding are present, but its incidence and treatment are not well known. Here, we present a rare case of a patient with essential thrombocytosis, moderate mitral regurgitation and severe aortic stenosis who had a transapical aortic valve implantation with short-term severe periprosthetic regurgitation, who needed a mitroaortic replacement on cardiopulmonary bypass with no complications.

We present a case of a cardiac fibroma affecting the base of the anterior papillary muscle resected under cardiopulmonary bypass with cardioscopy and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) instruments through the mitral valve. The surgical approach and instrumentation of previous case reports are reviewed.

We report a case of a 51-year-old patient with suspected prosthetic valve endocarditis. Capnocytophaga haemolytica was isolated in blood cultures and the repeated echocardiograms showed growth of vegetations and disruption of the proximal prosthetic valve suture line with progressive aortic regurgitation. The patient underwent a root debridement and replacement with a stentless bioprosthesis.
