A 66-year-old woman, who had been receiving regular hemodialysis for 11 years, was referred to our hospital because of heart failure due to combined valve disease complicated by porcelain aorta and mitral annulus calcification. We performed ascending aortic replacement under hypothermic arrest, and double valve replacement and tricuspid valve annuloplasty during rewarming. It was noted that the annulus of P3 of mitral valve had been replaced with atherosclerotic plaque containing calcification. We did not perform débridement. We placed non-everted horizontal mattress sutures from the left ventricle to the atrium on the anterior annulus and P1 to P2 annulus, and everted horizontal mattress sutures on the left atrial wall close to the calcified P3 annulus. Then, we successfully replaced the mitral valve with a 23-mm St. Jude Medical valve in a supra-annular position. The patient was discharged from the hospital 44 days after the operation.

D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
