title: [A case of mitral valvuloplasty with concomitant CABG in an aged patient].
abstract: A 79-year-old man was referred to our hospital complaining of the manifestation of mild heart failure. Echo cardiography and LV gram showed sever mitral regurgitation by the prolapse of posterior leaflet. CAG revealed coronary artery disease affected two vessels (LAD and RCA) without symptoms. Quadrangular resection of posterior leaflet (McGoon's method) without annuloplasty and concomitant single CABG to the LAD using a saphenous vein were performed. Postoperative course was satisfactory and the manifestation of heart failure was diminished. Mitral valvuloplasty with concomitant CABG may be a safe and effective procedure in the treatment of aged patients.
