Description
We describe the challenging case of a 28-year-old Jehovah's Witness patient who presented with symptomatic mitral and tricuspid valve disease and Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome. This is the first reported double-valve surgery in such a patient who, apart from chest deformity, had a small body size, severe lung disease, difficult airway and vascular access, and to add to the complexity, refused blood and blood product use. The patient underwent a successful mitral valve replacement and tricuspid valve repair through a right thoracotomy. Apart from atrial fibrillation, he had a smooth hospital course and was discharged home on postoperative day 9. © The Author(s) 2013 Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav.
