title: Triple valve surgery with triple aorto-coronary bypass and endarterectomy of the right coronary artery.
abstract: This paper presents the case report of a 50-year-old woman with a triple valve lesion of rheumatic origin and ischemic coronary disease. The patient underwent successful simultaneous triple valve surgery; the aortic and mitral valves were replaced by mechanical prostheses, and the tricuspid valve was repaired by annuloplasty, together with three aorto-coronary bypasses and endarterectomy of the right coronary artery. The peri- and postoperative courses were uneventful and the patient was discharged from hospital in good clinical condition 12 days after surgery.
