Summary

This study details a successful mitral valve re-replacement in a multiple myeloma patient. Bioprosthesis was chosen due to bleeding risks, highlighting IgG levels as critical for safe open-heart surgery.

Area of Science:

Cardiovascular Surgery
Hematology
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Multiple myeloma (MM) patients present unique challenges for cardiac surgery due to bleeding tendencies.
Elevated immunoglobulin G (IgG) in MM can impair coagulation and increase blood viscosity, complicating open-heart procedures.
