Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is a rare MAC variant with liquefied material at the calcified annulus. Surgical management of CCMA often involves wide excision and debridement, increasing the risk of perioperative stroke. We report a patient undergoing haemodialysis who developed an enlarged MAC, moderate mitral insufficiency and multivessel coronary artery disease. This case highlights the characteristic imaging features of CCMA. We performed a limited incision for complete drainage, followed by suture obliteration of the cavity and mitral valve repair, in conjunction with coronary artery bypass grafting. This technique was safe, preserved mitral valve function and was not associated with perioperative stroke. We herein report this approach reduces the risk of stroke while maintaining mitral valve function, offering a safer alternative to extensive excision.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/icvts\/ivaf061","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,12]],"date-time":"2025-03-12T19:01:12Z","timestamp":1741806072000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Surgical management for caseous calcification of mitral annulus associated with coronary artery disease"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1823-5962","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shinji","family":"Kanemitsu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Anjo Kosei Hospital , Anjo, Aichi,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shunsuke","family":"Sakamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Anjo Kosei Hospital , Anjo, Aichi,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toru","family":"Mizumoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Anjo Kosei Hospital , Anjo, Aichi,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025031720171419000_ivaf061-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e184","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejcts.2011.01.038","article-title":"Spontaneous fistulization of a caseous calcification of the mitral annulus: an exceptional cause of stroke","volume":"39","author":"Chevalier","year":"2011","journal-title":"Eur J Cardiothorac Surg"},{"key":"2025031720171419000_ivaf061-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1513","DOI":"10.1007\/s11748-020-01363-w","article-title":"Calcified amorphous tumor with caseous calcification of mitral annulus in hemodialysis patients","volume":"68","author":"Kanemitsu","year":"2020","journal-title":"Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg"},{"key":"2025031720171419000_ivaf061-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1945","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcmg.2020.03.013","article-title":"A cardiac computed tomography-based score to categorize mitral annular calcification severity and predict valve embolization","volume":"13","author":"Guerrero","year":"2020","journal-title":"JACC Cardiovasc Imaging"},{"key":"2025031720171419000_ivaf061-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1926","DOI":"10.1111\/echo.13335","article-title":"Calcified amorphous tumor of the heart in a hemodialysis patient","volume":"33","author":"Takeuchi","year":"2016","journal-title":"Echocardiography"},{"key":"2025031720171419000_ivaf061-B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e441","DOI":"10.1016\/j.athoracsur.2019.08.110","article-title":"Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus: a role for surgery","volume":"109","author":"Chauvette","year":"2020","journal-title":"Ann Thorac Surg."}],"container-title":["Interdisciplinary CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/icvts\/advance-article-pdf\/doi\/10.1093\/icvts\/ivaf061\/62387372\/ivaf061.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"am","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/icvts\/article-pdf\/40\/3\/ivaf061\/62387372\/ivaf061.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/icvts\/article-pdf\/40\/3\/ivaf061\/62387372\/ivaf061.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,17]],"date-time":"2025-03-17T20:17:35Z","timestamp":1742242655000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/icvts\/article\/doi\/10.1093\/icvts\/ivaf061\/8071873"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,3]]},"references-count":5,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,5]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/icvts\/ivaf061","relation":{},"ISSN":["2753-670X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2753-670X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2025,3]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,3]]},"article-number":"ivaf061"}}
