Multiple myeloma (MM) is a disease with a poor prognosis, and there are few reports of cardiac surgery complicated by this disease, which can lead to various perioperative complications such as bleeding tendency due to coagulation defects, changes in blood viscosity, immunocompromise, and bone marrow insufficiency when undergoing cardiac surgery. In recent years, with the spread of minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS), avoidance of sternotomy has become an option. We present a case of a 70-year-old man who underwent aortic valve replacement using MICS procedure for aortic regurgitation complicated with MM.
