Filter by:Patients with severe aortic regurgitation (AR) may be affected, in many cases, by a concomitant moderate or severe mitral regurgitation (MR). Tethering of the mitral valve leaflets and/or annular dilatation, both consequences of left ventricular dilatation, represent the most common mechanisms underlying the development of MR which can therefore be defined as "secondary" in this case. When both mitral and aortic regurgitation are severe, patients show a decreased survival due to the pathophysiological consequences of the combination of these pathological conditions. In this case, surgery on both diseased valves is required to interrupt the natural history of the disease and is widely supported by current guidelines. On the other hand, little is known about the fate and prognostic implications of moderate MR secondary to severe AR and whether or not it should be treated at the time of aortic valve surgery. For this condition, the current guidelines do not provide specific recommendations, referring generically to the decision of the Heart Team. To date, there are few data describing the evolution of moderate MR in patients undergoing surgery for severe AR and insufficient data to support recommendations regarding the treatment of moderate MR concurrently with treatment of AR, so that this decision is now entrusted to the evaluation of the Heart Team. It is therefore desirable to evaluate the outcomes of these patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the short- and long-term fate of secondary moderate MR in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement for severe AR.
Multivalvular heart disease is a highly prevalent clinical condition that comprises 14.6% of the patients undergoing valvular surgery. Specifically, aortic valve regurgitation (AR) can be present in a considerable proportion of patients undergoing mitral valve (MV) surgery. In the Society of Thoracic Surgeons database, con- comitant aortic and mitral surgery accounted for 57.8% of the total multivalvular procedures with an unadjusted mortality rate of 10.7%. When both the aortic and MVs exhibit severe disease, con- comitant valve surgery is well-accepted by the surgical commu- nity and supported by current guidelines. On the other hand, when the aortic valve (AV) shows only moderate regurgita- tion, which would not be surgically treated if singly present, the appropriate management of the AV pathology at the time of MV surgery is still under debate. The American College of Cardiology guidelines state that aortic valve replacement (AVR) is reasonable (class IIa) in patients with moderate AR (stage B) while undergoing surgery on the ascend- ing aorta, a coronary artery bypass graft or MV surgery (level of evidence: C). Conversely, the latest European Society of Cardiology guidelines on valvular heart disease define as con- troversial the decision to treat the AV in patients with moderate AR who undergo MV surgery, considering the slow progression of this disease. In this group of patients, they advocate a heart team approach that will take into account the aetiology of AR, the life expectancy of the patient, the operative risk and other clinical factors. This disagreement may lead to uncertainty about how patients with less than severe AR should be managed during MV surgery, especially considering the burden of double-valve surgical procedures. The goal of this study is to evaluate the immediate and long- term outcomes, including the need for a new procedure on the AV, in patients with moderate AR at the time of MV surgery.
Retrospective observational study of all patients undergoing aortic root surgery with aortic valve conservation, using the inclusion technique described by Tirone David, between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2020, at six centers (Nantes - Rennes - Brest - Angers - Tours [two centers]). The main objective of this study is to evaluate the survival without re-intervention for aortic valve dysfunction (surgery or TAVI).
To assess whether cardiac T1 mapping for detection of myocardial fibrosis enables preoperative identification of patients at risk for early left ventricular dysfunction after surgery of aortic regurgitation.
To compare changes in Left Ventricular Mass (LVM) depending on each blood pressure regulation between the intensive care group and the usual care group for patients with hypertension accompanied by aortic valve disease and evaluate an influence of blood pressure regulation on improvement of left ventricular hypertrophy and its safety
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the SAPIEN XT (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California) transcatheter heart valve implantation (TAVI) in Chinese patients with symptomatic severe calcific aortic stenosis who are considered at high risk for surgical valve replacement.
Prospective longitudinal study on four small groups of surgical patients affected by: BAV with isolated regurgitation, BAV associated with aorta dilatation, or both and BAV with isolated stenosis in over 60 year-old patients. The aim of the study is to select homogeneous small groups of surgical patients with the same subtype of BAV and same aortic behaviour and identify markers/predictors of favorable-unfavorable aortic wall evolution to evaluate if there is a BAV phenotype more likely to be considered at high risk for aortic degeneration.
The purpose of this registry is to observe longterm performance and safety of the JenaValve TAVI system, in routine medical and everyday conditions.
This investigation is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the HAART model 300 annuloplasty ring when used to surgically repair a leaking aortic valve using a 3-D intra-annular mounting frame
Follow-up study in patients with severe aortic regurgitation after successful valve replacement. Systolic and diastolic function were assessed and persistent diastolic dysfunction was observed late (7-10 years) after operation.
