We described a case of an 84-year-old @entity1 with end stage @entity472 in whom favorable results were obtained after constructing apico-aortic conduit bypass. The @entity1 admitted due to complete @entity713 and @entity1576 . Although a permanent pacemaker was implanted, @entity712 did not improve. Echocardiograms showed small aortic annulus and severe @entity7874 with a measured trans valve gradient of 100 mmHg. Since @entity712 deteriorated and she lapsed into @entity551 and @entity810 , an emergency operation was performed. The left lateral thoracotomy was performed with cardiopulmonary bypass. A bioprosthetic valved conduit was anastmosed to the left ventricle apex. Another graft was anastomosed to the discending thoracic aorta. The operation was completed by anastomosing the tailored ends of the grafts together. Although the @entity1 required hemodialysis for 2 weeks after operation, she was discharged on 57th day after operation without any complications. Apico-aortic conduit is considered to be an useful procedure for elderly @entity1 who were not good candidates for conventional valve replacement.
