This International Consensus Classification and Nomenclature for the congenital bicuspid aortic valve condition recognizes 3 types of valves: 1. The fused type (right-left cusp fusion, right-non-coronary fusion left-non-coronary phenotypes); 2. 2-sinus (latero-lateral antero-posterior 3. partial-fusion (forme fruste) type. presence raphe symmetry phenotypes are critical aspects to describe. also valve-associated aortopathy: ascending phenotype; root Extended phenotypes.
The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) exists in a wide variety of phenotypes. aim this study was to assess the anatomical characteristics different phenotypes and develop classification system aid surgical repair.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes following Ross procedure in young adults our institution. All adult patients who received a operation between 1991 and 2014 were included study. Survival analysis regression performed. cohort compared with age-, gender- calendar year-matched general population. Three hundred-and-six (mean age: 41.7 ± 9.7, male: 74.8%, bicuspid aortic valve: 58.5%, valve stenosis: 68%) analysis. There 7 perioperative deaths (2.3%). Nine lost...
Background Impaired cognition is a major predisposing factor for postoperative delirium, but it not systematically assessed. Anesthesia and surgery may cause delirium by affecting brain integrity. Neurofilament light in serum reflects axonal injury. Studies evaluating the perioperative course of neurofilament cardiac have shown conflicting results. The authors hypothesized that values would be higher delirious patients, baseline concentrations correlated with patients’ cognitive status...
We have recently shown that valve sparing reimplantation (VSR) improves the durability of bicuspid aortic repair in comparison with subcommissural annuloplasty. The aim this study was to assess degree annular reduction provided by these techniques and correlate findings durability. From 1995 2010, 161 patients underwent repair. included only annuloplasty or having intraoperative pre- post-repair transoesophageal echocardiography images. Pre- ventriculo-aortic junction (VAJ) diameters were...
The long-term advantages of multiple arterial grafts, particularly a third conduit, for coronary artery bypass (CABG) are not clear. This study was designed to test whether grafts would provide better outcomes when compared with approaches using fewer conduits. Between 1985 and 1995, prospective data were collected 588 patients undergoing isolated CABG at our institution. We examined survival freedom from cardiac death. primary analysis receiving bilateral internal thoracic (BITA) vs. single...
Valve sparing reimplantation can improve the durability of bicuspid aortic valve repair compared with subcommissural annuloplasty, especially in patients a large basal ring. This study analyses effect ring size and annuloplasty on setting tricuspid valve.From 1995 to 2013, 382 underwent elective repair. We included only those undergoing or no whom intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography images were available for retrospective pre- post-repair measurements (n = 323, annuloplasty:...
To evaluate timing for surgery and management of complex valve lesions in patients with active mitral (MV) endocarditis. Results are based on 13 years experience MV repair endocarditis.Between 1993 2005, 81 were operated endocarditis, which 63 (or 78%) had repair. For all patients, the median time between diagnosis was 10 days. Diverse surgical techniques applied to restore competence. In 59% pericardial patches, tricuspid autograft or partial homografts used as leaflet substitutes....
