A 67-year-old woman with congestive heart failure due to aortic stenosis and regurgitation needed aortic valve replacement. She had undergone right radical mastectomy 23 years before, and total thoracic esophagectomy with retrosternal gastric tube reconstruction 11 years before. Plain computed tomography showed coincident porcelain aorta. Aortic valve replacement was performed through a median sternotomy approach. Blunt dissection on anterior and right side of the gastric tube could be done with minimal injury, and the heart was exposed as in usual cardiac surgery. Preoperative multi-detector computed tomography revealed inhomogeneous and patchy distribution of calcification in the ascending aorta, and was helpful to decide aortotomy site. Aortic valve replacement was done and aortotomy was closed with felt strip buttressed running suture. Postoperative course was uneventful.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
