A 68-year-old male who had previously undergone aorto-coronary artery bypass grafting was admitted for mitral valve surgery. Because of the presence of anteriorly placed intact coronary artery bypass grafts, we used right thoracotomy to replace the mitral valve. Cardiopulmonary bypass was established after cannulation of the femoral artery and bicaval cannulation, and continuous retorograde cardioplegia with cold blood was infused. Residual air was evacuated through left ventricular vent catheter and aortic air vent hole. Post operative course was uneventful.
