subtended by the occluded coronary artery. Often, the ven­triculotomy incision is made close to and parallel to either the left anterior descending or the posterior descending artery. Invariably these arteries are included in the ventricu­lotomy closure sutures.
Ventricular Septal Defect
The principles of repair of postinfarction ventricular septal defect are as follows:
• Trans-infarct approach to ventricular septal defect with the site of ventriculotomy determined by the location of the transmural infarction.
• Inspection of the left ventricular papillary muscles and concomitant replacement of the mitral valve only if there is frank papillary muscular rupture.
• Closure of the septal defect without tension by which the technique of endocardial patch repair with infarct exclu­sion is most reliable (see below).
• Closure of the ventriculotomy without tension with gen­erous use of prosthetic material as indicated, and/or epi­cardial placement of the patch (double velour Dacron) to the free wall as indicated, to avoid strain on the friable endocardial tissue.
• Buttressing of the suture lines with pledgets or strips of Teon felt to prevent sutures from cutting through friable muscle and supporting the suture line with application of haemostatic adhesive such as BioGlue.
The technique of infarct exclusion is attractive as instead
of closing the septal defect, it is simply excluded from the high-pressure zone of the left ventricle. It does not require resection of myocardium; excessive resection results in depression of ventricular function and insufcient resection predisposes to recurrence of septal rupture. In addition, it maintains ventricular geometry, which enhances ventricular function. Lastly it avoids tension on friable muscle, which may diminish postoperative bleeding.
In patients with anterior septal rupture, the interventricu-
lar septum is exposed via a left ventriculotomy, which is made through the infarcted anterolateral wall starting at the apex and extending proximally parallel to, but 1–2cm away from, the anterior descending artery (Fig.3.1). Stay sutures (2-0 Prolene) are passed through the margins of the ventricu­lotomy to aid in the exposure of the infarcted septum. Alternatively, a self-retaining retractor can be used.
The septal defect is located, and the margins of the
infarcted muscle identied. A glutaraldehyde-xed bovine pericardial patch is tailored to the shape of the left ventricu­lar infarction as seen from the endocardium but 1–2 cm larger. The patch is usually oval and measures approximately

4–6cm in most patients. The pericardial patch is then sutured to healthy endocardium all around the infarct. Suturing begins in the lowest and most proximal part of the non­infarcted endocardium of the septum with a continuous 3-0 Prolene suture (Fig. 3.1). Interrupted mattress sutures (4-0 Prolene) with felt pledgets should be used to reinforce the repair.
The patch is also sutured to the non-infarcted endocar­dium of the anterolateral ventricular wall. The stitches should be inserted 5mm deep in the muscle and 5mm apart. The stitches in the patch should be at least 5mm from its free margin to allow the patch to cover the area between the entrance and exit of the suture in the myocardium. This tech­nique minimises the risk of tearing muscle as the suture is pulled taut. If the infarct involves the base of the anterior papillary muscle, the suture is brought outside of the heart and buttressed on a strip of Teon felt applied to the epicar­dial surface of the left ventricle. Once the patch is completely secured to the endocardium of the left ventricle, the left ven­tricular cavity becomes largely excluded from the infarcted myocardium.
The ventriculotomy is closed in two layers with two strips of Teon felt on either side of the ventriculotomy using 2-0

or 3-0 Prolene sutures. The rst layer is an interrupted hori­zontal mattress going through the full thickness of the ventricular wall and the felt strip (Fig.3.2). It is important when tying the individual suture of this rst layer, there should be just enough tension to gently opposed both muscle edge. The second layer is a running stitch with 3-0 Prolene. Alternatively, a separate bovine pericardial patch can be used to cover the whole suture line with the edges sutured onto the Teon felt strip. No infarctectomy is performed unless the necrotic muscle along the ventriculotomy is sloughing at the time of its closure.
If the edges of the ventriculotomy are very friable and some degree of resection of infarcted myocardium need to be performed, direct closure described above may not be pos­sible. In this situation, 2-0 or 3-0 Prolene sutures can be passed through the ventricular free wall and through a tai­lored (to t over the defect) patch of double velour Dacron in an interrupted horizontal mattress fashion to form a new ven­tricular free wall (Fig.3.3).
In patients with posterior septal defect, an incision is made in the inferior wall of the left ventricle 1 or 2mm from the posterior descending artery. This incision is started at the
midportion of the inferior wall and extended proximally toward the mitral annulus and distally toward the apex of the ventricle. Care is taken to avoid damage to the posterolateral papillary muscle. Stay sutures are passed through the fat pad of the apex of the ventricle and margins of the ventriculot­omy to facilitate exposure of the ventricular cavity.
In most cases, the rupture is found in the proximal half of the posterior septum and the posteromedial papillary muscle is involved by the infarction. A bovine pericardial patch is tailored in a triangular shape of approximately 4–7 cm in most patients. The base of the triangular-shaped patch is sutured to the brous annulus of the mitral valve with a con­tinuous 3-0 polypropylene suture starting at a point corre­sponding to the level of the posteromedial papillary muscle and moving medially toward the septum until the non­infarcted endocardium is reached. At that level, the suture is interrupted, and any excess patch material trimmed (Fig.3.4).
The medial margin of the triangular-shaped patch is sewn to healthy septal endocardium with a continuous 3-0 or 4-0 Prolene suture taking bites the same size as those described for anterior defects. In this area of the septum, reinforcing pled­geted sutures (4-0 Prolene) may be required. The lateral side

of the patch is sutured to the posterior wall of the left ventricle along a line corresponding to the medial margin of the base of the posteromedial papillary muscle. Because the posterior wall of the left ventricle is infarcted, it is usually necessary to use full-thickness bites and anchor the sutures on a strip of Teon felt applied on the epicardial surface of the posterior wall of the left ventricle right at the level of the posteromedial papillary muscle insertion. Once the patch is completely sutured to the mitral valve annulus, the endocardium of the interventricular septum, and the full thickness of the posterior wall, the ventriculotomy is closed as described above.
Ventricular Free Wall Rupture
In patients with signicant cardiac tamponade, cardiac arrest may result during the induction of anaesthesia. This should be anticipated, and measures such as completing the sterile preparation, draping of the patient, and even access to the femoral artery before inducing anaesthesia should be consid­ered. A median sternotomy is quickly performed but the peri­cardium should be decompressed gradually as the systemic blood pressure can otherwise rebound to the other extreme and may even increase the size of the ventricular free wall defect. In most cases, however, the ventricular tear is sealed off by clot, and there is no active bleeding.
Repair should be undertaken with cardiopulmonary
bypass and aortic cross clamping as cardiac standstill and
left ventricular decompression make the procedure much easier and controlled. There are generally two techniques used and it depends on the size of the defect and the degree of myocardial necrotic tissue present.
The easiest techniques is the application of BioGlue to a wide area around the defect and placing an appropriately sized patch of Bovine pericardium over it. This is best done in cardiac standstill, and one must allow sufcient time for the BioGlue to x. This time can be utilised to tack down the patch with a running 4-0 Prolene suture to the epicardial surface.
The more substantive repair involves a limited infarctec­tomy back to myocardium that will hold a ventriculotomy suture line and using the techniques of ventriculotomy clo­sure described above. Concurrent coronary artery bypass graft surgery may be considered.

Papillary Muscle Rupture
FrancisC.Wells
The mitral valve leaets are supported through the papillary muscle projections from the left ventricular wall and their tendinous cords which extend to the leaet margins and the belly of the leaets (Fig.4.1). There are usually two primary papillary muscle complexes, supero-lateral (antero-lateral/ anterior) and infero-septal (postero-septal/posterior). The true anatomical descriptive name is used rst but the papil­lary muscles are frequently simply referred to as anterior or posterior in the surgical forum (Fig.4.2). They have a rela­tively discreet and still relatively poorly understood blood supply with little or no collateralisation. The posterior (infero-septal) papillary muscle derives its blood supply from either branches of the right coronary artery or the cir­cumex branch of the left in a left dominant system. Work done by Voci et al. [1] demonstrated that the situation was sometimes not even that straight forwards and that in a right dominant coronary situation the inferior wall may be per­fused by the right coronary artery, whereas the inferior papil­lary muscle was not. A combination of right coronary occlusion and signicant circumex artery disease in the set­ting of a dominant right coronary artery is the usual presenta­tion. The incidence is low, less than 5% of myocardial infarctions. More commonly found is inferior wall dyskine­sia with acute functional mitral regurgitation.
In hearts where the inferior papillary muscle blood supply is abruptly interrupted, muscle necrosis followed by rupture of the papillary muscle can occur, precipitating sudden severe mitral regurgitation, a life-threatening complication of myocardial infarction (Fig.4.3). Under the force of ven­tricular systole, the high closing pressure can cause acute, severe mitral regurgitation rapidly followed by pulmonary oedema. Rupture commonly occurs on days 2–7. The mor­tality is high. Emergency hospital admission is necessary

with positive pressure ventilation and medical treatment to decompress the lungs and to clear the pulmonary oedema.
Emergency surgery is indicated. Whilst valve repair/ reconstruction is accepted as the gold standard treatment for mitral regurgitation, reconstruction in this setting carries poor results with early disruption of the reconstituted muscle as a result of the extent of ischaemia in the surrounding mus­cle. Therefore, the only reliable solution is the insertion of a prosthetic valve with preservation of as much subvalvar con­nections as possible.
Appropriate coronary artery bypass grafting should also be undertaken. The results depend upon the amount of sur­rounding myocardial death as a result of the vascular occlusion.

In the presence of symptoms, heart valve surgery is offered to patients with severe heart valve disease, based on cur­rently accepted severity thresholds on imaging at rest. Outcomes data dening severe heart valve disease exist only for echocardiography; consequently, recommendations and guidelines refer mainly to severity thresholds derived from echocardiography. However, in case of non-diagnostic echo­cardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and car­diac computed tomography can be used reliably for timing of heart valve surgery, when they diagnose the heart valve dis­ease as severe.
The reporting of symptoms is subjective and the develop-
ment of symptoms depends on physical activities performed, being less likely in sedentary patients and highly trained individuals. Consequently, the absence of symptoms must be conrmed with exercise testing. Exercise echocardiography provides objective assessment of exercise tolerance and symptoms, as well as detection of exertion-induced changes that predict decompensation. Furthermore, exercise echocar­diography can be used in symptomatic patients with non­severe heart valve disease based on imaging at rest, to reclassify the severity based on exercise-induced changes.
Symptoms represent a strong (class I) indication for
mitral valve surgery in all guidelines. In the absence of symptoms, heart valve surgery is offered to patients with severe heart valve disease and haemodynamic consequences typical for the type of valve disease.
Mitral Regurgitation
Primary Mitral Regurgitation
1. Degenerative mitral valve disease is the most common cause of mitral regurgitation. Timing of surgery in asymp­tomatic patients with severe mitral regurgitation depends rstly on the patient’s surgical risk and on the likelihood of successful durable mitral valve repair. Young patients, with low surgical risk and highly repairable valve can be offered early surgery. Drop in left ventricular ejection fraction below 60% signals decompensation and repre­sents a strong indication for mitral valve surgery (class I in all guidelines) without waiting for symptoms. Pulmonary hypertension with estimated systolic pulmo­nary artery pressure (SPAP) at rest on echocardiography of 50mmHg, rise in estimated SPAP during exercise to over 60mmHg, an enlarged left atrium with an indexed volume>60mL/m2 BSA and development of atrial bril­lation represent softer indications for mitral valve sur­gery, depending on the patient’s life expectancy and surgical risk.
2. Mitral regurgitation due to calcic mitral valve degenera­tion with mitral annular calcication invading or retract­ing the mitral valve leaets is a form of primary mitral regurgitation usually affecting older individuals with a higher surgical risk, further increased by the typical mitral valve morphology. Consequently, taking into con­sideration risk and benet, surgery is most likely offered in symptomatic patients. However, radiation-induced mitral valve calcication can affect younger individuals and, in this case, risk and benet considerations differ.
Timing of surgery for mitral regurgitation varies, depending on the primary or secondary nature of the regurgitation and specic considerations for each category.

Secondary Mitral Regurgitation
1. Ventricular-secondary mitral regurgitation of ischaemic or non-ischaemic cause responds to heart failure medical treatment, revascularization, and/or cardiac resynchroni­sation therapy. Mitral valve surgery should be offered only if the regurgitation remains severe and the patient

remains symptomatic or requires surgical revascularisa­tion of coronary disease.
2. Atrial-secondary mitral regurgitation responds to ofoad­ing and rate or rhythm control of atrial brillation. Mitral valve surgery should be offered only if the regurgitation remains severe and the patient remains symptomatic.
Mitral Stenosis
1. Rheumatic mitral stenosis is treated mainly with trans­catheter balloon commissurotomy and mitral valve sur­gery is offered only in case of unfavourable morphology. In the asymptomatic patient, depending on surgical risk, surgery can be offered in case of pulmonary hypertension with estimated systolic pulmonary pressure>50mmHg on echocardiography at rest, or in case of high thrombo­embolic risk (history of systemic embolization, dense spontaneous contrast in the left atrium, recent onset par­oxysmal atrial brillation).
2. Calcic mitral stenosis implies similar considerations of risk and benet with calcic mitral regurgitation. The rst treatment should comprise rate control and diuresis, and care should be taken to avoid overestimation of mitral stenosis severity.
threshold of 50% for a strong (class I) indication. Surgery should be also offered in case of increase in mean gradient during exercise by more than 20mmHg, in case of rise in BNP and in case of very high transvalvular velocities (>5m/s) and gradients.
Tricuspid Regurgitation
Timing of surgery for tricuspid regurgitation varies, depend­ing on the primary or secondary nature of the regurgitation and coexistent pathology.
Primary Tricuspid Regurgitation
Primary tricuspid regurgitation of degenerative aetiology can coexist with mitral valve prolapse. Primary tricuspid regurgi­tation due to a ail leaet, usually of traumatic cause can manifest in isolation. Surgery should be offered to symptom­atic patients without severe right ventricular systolic dys­function, better assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Surgery can be offered to asymptomatic patients with dilatation of the right ventricle and low surgical risk.
Aortic Regurgitation
In asymptomatic patients, aortic valve surgery is offered when the systolic function of the left ventricle drops, as assessed by an increase in the end-systolic diameter of the left ventricle or by a decrease in left ventricular ejection frac­tion. A drop in left ventricular ejection fraction to <50% rep­resents a strong (class I) indication in the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines [1], with a drop to <55% representing a softer indication. The NICE guidelines [2] recommend surgery when the ejection fraction drops to <55%.
Aortic Stenosis
In asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis, aortic valve surgery is offered when the left ventricular ejection fraction drops. The NICE guidelines recommend a left ven­tricular ejection fraction threshold of 55%; this threshold represents a soft indication in the ESC guidelines, with a
Secondary Tricuspid Regurgitation
For secondary tricuspid regurgitation, a strong (class I) indi­cation exists only in patients undergoing left heart valve sur­gery. Surgery can be also offered for severe isolated secondary tricuspid regurgitation in case of symptoms or dilatation of the right ventricle without severe right ventricu­lar systolic dysfunction or pulmonary hypertension, however this represents a softer indication (class IIa). A similarly soft indication exists for mild or moderate tricuspid regurgitation with a dilated annulus (>40 mm on echocardiography) undergoing left heart valve surgery.

Surgery forAortic Valve Replacement

In Western countries, aortic valve replacement surgery is increasingly performed in the elderly for senile calcic aortic stenosis. The other common indication for aortic valve replacement is bicuspid aortic valve disease with severe ste­nosis and/or regurgitation. In developing countries, rheu­matic aortic valve disease remains the predominate indication for surgical intervention. Pure aortic valve regurgitation is a less common indication that patients require aortic valve replacement. This could be secondary to aortopathies, such as an aneurysmal aortic root or ascending aorta with efface­ment of the sinotubular junction or due to infective bacterial endocarditis leading to the destruction of the aortic valve apparatus.
Degeneration of the aortic valve is frequently accompa­nied by brosis and calcication of the valve leaets. The calcication often extends into the aortic annulus and may involve the aortic root as well as the anterior mitral valve leaet.
The timing and indications for surgery, especially in the asymptomatic patient, are evolving and updated at intervals according to the latest evidence. These are covered in depth in international guidelines and will not be discussed here [1, 2].

Surgical Techniques
Cardiopulmonary Bypass andVenting
Following sternal incision and systemic heparinisation, car­diopulmonary bypass is established via a high ascending aortic and a two-stage right atrial cannulation. Moderate sys­temic hypothermia of 32°C is preferred to reduce warming of the heart during cardioplegic arrest.
Venting is deployed to avoid distension of the left ventri­cle especially in cases of aortic regurgitation and to provide a clear operating eld during surgery. This is achieved by inserting a vent in the right superior pulmonary vein and using a trocar to direct it across the left atrium, the mitral valve and into the left ventricle. For cardioplegia delivery and subsequent de-airing of the heart at the end of surgery, an 8F cannula is secured to the most anterior aspect of the mid ascending aorta.
Once fully set up, an aortic cross-clamp is applied and 1–1.5L of cold blood cardioplegia is delivered into the iso­lated aortic root. Finger palpation is performed to ensure that an adequate aortic root pressure is generated by the cardio­plegia infusion, the left ventricle did not distend due to regur­gitant ow across the aortic valve and that prompt electromechanical arrest of the heart is achieved. Inadequate aortic root pressure without obvious left ventricular disten­sion suggests a modest leakage of the infused cardioplegia across the aortic valve. This could effectively be managed by increasing the infusion rate and total volume of the cardio­plegia with simultaneous increased cardiotomy suction on the pulmonary vein vent.
In cases of left ventricular distension during cardioplegia infusion into the aortic root, the 8F aortic cannula is detached from the cardioplegia line and connected to a cardiotomy sucker to decompress the left heart. An aortotomy is then performed, and an appropriately sized coronary ostial can­nula is used to deliver the required amount of cardioplegia directly into the left coronary artery (600mL) and right coro­nary artery (400mL) in turn. In cases of known severe aortic
