Is it possible to operate four heart valves in a patient with heart failure, congenital heart disease and pulmonary hypertension?

Original language description

We describe a 60-year-old man with the history of radical correction of the tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) in the year 1964. This patient has had a long lasting decompensation of a severe right heart failure with ascites and pulmonary hypertension. On echocardiography he had residual mild pulmonary stenosis (PS) and severe pulmonary and tricuspid regurgitation (TR), moderate aortic and mitral regurgitation. He also had residual ventricular septal defect (VSD) and severe pulmonary hypertension with the maximal gradient on TR 83 mmHg. He was considered unoperable by his cardiologist, however, the patient decided to undergo a high-risk operation. The operation comprised pulmonary and aortic valve replacement with bioprosthesis, mitral and tricuspid repair, closure of ventricular septal defect, bilateral MAZE and volumereduction of both atria. After a very complicated postoperative course with multiorgan failure he recovered and was discharged home 2 months after operation. The NYHA class impro
