The patient is a 74 year-old gentleman with a history of aortic stenosis, non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia who underwent a cardiac catheterization and aortic valve replacement on July, 2001. His echocardiogram revealed severe aortic stenosis with mitral annular calcification, left ventricular hypertrophy, 1+ aortic insufficiency, and a mild tricuspid regurgitation with an ejection fraction of 55%. His past medical history is notable for non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, depression, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and gout. The patient had no known drug allergies and was taking Simvastatin, Lopressor 50 mg p.o. b.i.d., Allopurinol 300 mg once a day, Lasix 40 mg three times a day, Captopril, Potassium replacement, and a Multivitamin upon admission. His physical examination was unremarkable, with a right carotid bruit and palpable distal pulses. He was seen in consultation by Oral Medicine for carious teeth, and his coronary arteriogram demonstrated a 50% lesion of his left anterior descending coronary artery, 60% second diagonal, and a 60% lesion of the right coronary artery. He underwent aortic valve replacement with a #23 Carpentier-Edwards bioprosthetic valve and coronary artery bypass grafting times two with saphenous vein graft to the left anterior descending coronary artery and the saphenous vein graft to the posterior descending. His postoperative course was complicated only by mild confusion which has cleared and he is to be discharged to rehabilitation in good condition on Enteric coated aspirin 325 mg p.o. q. day, Lithium 300 mg twice a day, Potassium supplementation 20 mEq once a day, Pravachol 40 mg once a day, Glyburide 1.25 mg twice a day, Parnate 10 mg twice a day, and Lasix 20 mg once a day. He is to be discharged to the care of Dr. Kim E Scow, Cardiovascular Division at Hany Medical Center.
