True aneurysms of the coronary artery after aortic root replacement in Marfan syndrome patients are very rare. An anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) from the left sinus of Valsalva adds complexity during aortic root surgery. We present a case of a 37-year-old male patient with Marfan syndrome who had an RCA anomaly and a 4.5-cm true aneurysm of the common coronary button 14 years after a previous Bentall procedure. A redo Bentall operation and hemi-arch replacement were successfully performed. The anomalous origin of the RCA from the left sinus of Valsalva was safely divided and anastomosed as separate coronary buttons to the prosthetic composite valve graft. To prevent coronary button aneurysms after aortic root surgery in Marfan patients, the coronary buttons and the corresponding side holes on the prosthetic graft must be reduced to the maximum possible extent.

The present study reports 41 cases of congenital and acquired heart diseases, who received open heart surgery under extracorporeal circulation [ECC] by Sarns Heart-Lung-Machine [HLM] at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital during the` period between July 1975 and February 1979. The priming of pump oxygenator was carried out by the hemodilution method using Hartman`s solution, whole blood, and fresh human plasma. The rate of hemodilution was in the average of 50.8 ml/kg. ECC was performed at the average perfusion flow rate of 85.0 ml/kg/min [2.43 L./ kg/2] and at moderate hypothermia. In the total cardiopulmonary bypass, arterial pressure ranged between 55 mmHg and 90 mmHg, but generally maintaining over 70 mmHg. Patient age ranged between 2 and 54 year old, in congenital heart diseases, between 2 and 28, in acquired heart diseases, between 17 and 54 Sex ratio of male to female was 20:21. The cases include a case of pulmonary valvular stenosis, 4 cases of atrial septal defect, 9 cases of ventricular septal defect, 9 cases of tetralogy of Fallot, 5 cases of pentalogy of Fallot, 3 cases of atypical multiple anomalies 7 cases of mitral stenosis or insufficiency, a case of myxoma in left atrium, and a case of ruptured aneurysm of Valsalva`s sinus. The surgical managements were 16 valvulotomy for pulmonary valvular stenosis, 2 Teflon patch graft closure and 5 simple suture closure of atrial septal defect, 16 Teflon patch graft closure and 5 simple suture closure of ventricular septal defect, 12 pericardial patch graft for infundibular stenosis of right ventricle, one anastomosis between left superior vena cava and right atrium, 2 open mitral commissurotomy, 5 mitral valve replacement using Starr-Edward`s ball valve, porcine xenograft by Hancock, by Carpentier-Edward, or Angell-Shiley, one removal of left atrial myxoma, and a repair of ruptured aneurysm of Valsalva`s sinus. Four [9.7%] out 41 cases expired postoperatively and the rest of 37 cases survived with satisfactory results. The causes of death were one coronary embolism in tetralogy of Fallot, 2 postoperative lower cardiac output in atypical multiple anomalies, and one right heart failure in large: ventricular septal defect with pulmonary hypertension.

Supravalvular aortic stenosis may be defined as an obstructive congenital deformity of the ascending aorta which originates just distal to the level of the origin of the coronary arteries. It may occur in several different anatomical form. Three type have been described; the hourglass, the hypoplastic and the membranous type, each term identifying the gross characteristic of the lesion causing by the aortic obstruction. Non cardiovascular condition commonly associated with supravalvular aortic stenosis are mental retardation, facial anomalies, hypercalcemia, etc. The diagnosis can be established preoperatively by left heart catheterization and selective angiography. Recently, we experienced a case of multiple localized supravalvular aortic stenosis involving, just above the sinus Valsalva and just proximal of the innominate artery. The surgical correction which was performed by a vertical incision across the each narrowing of aorta with replacement of diamond shaped double velour Woven Dacron patch under the CPB. He was discharged without any event.

A case of Annuloaortic Ectasia associated with Marfan syndrome and mitral regurgitation is treated surgically by Bentall`s method and mitral annuloplasty. The Annuloaortic Ectasia is frequently accompanied with Marfan syndrome, its definition is simply explained as the following; the marked dilatation of the sinuses of Valsalva and the aortic annulus as well as the huge aneurysm of the ascending aorta. As the operative finding, the intimal tearing was shown as circular and the both coronary ostia were changed the position into high up. The patient was taken a corrective operation replacing the ascending aorta and aortic valve with a composite graft[St. Jude medical valve 29mm, woven Dacron tubular graft 31mm]. The both coronary ostia were reimplanted on the graft with 4-0 prolene by continuous suture. Mitral annuloplasty was performed. After the operation, the patient developed both spontaneous pneumothorax, he improved state by the closed thoracostomy. He has been doing well, postoperatively.

A case of Annuloaortic Ectasia associated with Marfan syndrome was treated by replacement of aorta and aortic valve with a valved conduit. A 26 years old man had suffered from palpitation and precordial pain. He had stigmata of Marfan`s syndrome. Aortogram and 2-D echocardiogram confirmed aneurysm of the ascending aorta with aortic insufficiency. Surgery was performed under the moderate hypothermia to 28oC. There was marked dilatation of the aortic annulus as well as sinus of Valsalva, with displacement of the coronary ostia. Aortic valve and aneurysm was replacement with 25mm, woven Dacron tubular graft, to which a 25mm, S.T. Jude Medical valve had been previously sutured. Right & left coronary ostia were anastomosed to the graft with the use of 3O Nylon pledget suture. The patient had a satisfactory post operation period with out specific complication.

The Cox-Maze procedure was developed as a cure for atrial fibrillation. The recovery rate of both atrial contractility is reported low in the atrial fibrillation associated with mitral valvular heart disease than that of loan atrial fibrillation. We performed the Cox-Maze procedure (Maze III) in three cases who suffered from non-mitral heart diseases associated with atrial fibrillation: A ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, a ventricular septal defect, and an aortic stenoinsufficiency. The Cox-Maze procedure was performed concomitantly with correction of the underlying heart disease. Conversion to sinus rhythm was achieved in all three patients, and both right and left atrial mechanical activities could be identified echocardiographically after three postoperative months.

A 50 year old man with acute aortic dissection DeBakey type I, involving right coronary artery and aortic valve, underwent replacement of the ascending aorta and aorto-right coronary bypass grafting. The operative findings showed a large transverse intimal tear was at about 4cm above the aortic valve. The dissection extended out into the proximal right coronary artery. And we found that the right coronary artery originated from the left sinus of Valsalva, run transversally in the aortic wall, with partial rupture. Postoperatively he had no ischemic cardiac symptoms and neurologic complications. He was discharged on postoperative 9th day with good result.
