Refractory ventricular fibrillation caused by coronary insufficiency after Bentall procedure: A case report.
Background: In open heart surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), ventricular fibrillation (VF) is common, but refractory recurrent VF is uncommon but perilous.
Case summary: This article reports a 58-year-old male patient with an ascending aortic aneurysm who presented for a Bentall procedure and subsequently experienced multiple occurrences of unexplained VF after weaning from CPB. The recurrent episodes of VF in this case were felt to be related to coronary insufficiency after reconstruction of the aortic root. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) of the proximal right coronary artery and the left anterior descending artery successfully resolved VF. Finally, this patient was safely transferred to the postoperative intensive care unit, and was discharged successfully after subsequent supportive treatment.
Conclusion: In aortic root replacement, coronary insufficiency is a potential cause of VF episodes and should be considered in the differential diagnosis. CABG is the sole effective treatment for VF caused by coronary insufficiency.
期刊介绍:
The World Journal of Clinical Cases (WJCC) is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJCC is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of clinical cases. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJCC is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJCC are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in clinical cases.
