Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Eighty-six patients, mean age 29 +/- 15 years, underwent aortic valve reconstruction with bovine or autologous pericardial tissue. Mean clinical follow-up was 35 months. Echocardiographic data were assessed in 65 patients with follow-up > or = 6 months. There were two in-hospital and three late deaths. Warfarin was not given, and no thromboembolic events occurred. Five (6%) patients needed reoperation because of severe aortic regurgitation. Peak aortic valve gradients remained low (26 +/- 14 mm Hg for the bovine group and 16 +/- 16 mm Hg for the autologous group). One patient is awaiting surgery for aortic stenosis after 76 months. Leaflet thickening at latest follow-up was marked in six (9%) patients. Left ventricular dimensions normalized postoperatively and showed only insignificant increase during follow-up. This technique is a promising alternative to valve prosthesis in selected patients; however, longer follow-up is necessary to assess long-term results. |
