INSERTION OF AN INTRAAORTIC BALLOON THROUGH A LIMB OF AN AORTOFEMORAL GRAFT AFTER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT, DOUBLE CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS, AND RESECTION OF AN ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM

RESUMO

This case report describes a useful and unusual route for insertion of an intraaortic balloon in 63-year-old man who was operated upon for calcific aortic stenosis, coronary atherosclerosis involving the left anterior descending and right coronary arteries, and a large abdominal aortic aneurysm. Aortic valve replacement was accomplished with a porcine heterograft prosthesis. Bypasses to the left anterior descending and right coronary arteries were constructed with reversed saphenous vein grafts, and the abdominal aneurysm was resected and repaired with a bifurcated woven Dacron vascular graft. An electively placed intraaortic balloon was inserted through the right limb of the aortic graft prosthesis and used to assist the patient during the immediate postoperative period. Uneventful recovery ensued.
