There is a lack of published information about intraoperative and postoperative course of cardiac surgery in patients with essential thrombocytosis using cardiopulmonary bypass. Both risks of intraoperative thrombosis of extracorporeal conduits or uncontrolled postoperative bleeding are present, but its incidence and treatment are not well known. Here, we present a rare case of a patient with essential thrombocytosis, moderate mitral regurgitation and severe aortic stenosis who had a transapical aortic valve implantation with short-term severe periprosthetic regurgitation, who needed a mitroaortic replacement on cardiopulmonary bypass with no complications.

We present a case of a cardiac fibroma affecting the base of the anterior papillary muscle resected under cardiopulmonary bypass with cardioscopy and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) instruments through the mitral valve. The surgical approach and instrumentation of previous case reports are reviewed.

We present the case of a 62-year-old female with a diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta and mitral valve regurgitation. The patient underwent a mitral valve repair without complications. We describe the case and our surgical technique.
