Objective To investigate hemodynamic changes in the early postoperative period of isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) with different types of 19-mm mechanical heart valves. Methods Clinical data of 116 patients with aortic stenosis who underwent AVR in Beijing Anzhen hospital from January 2007 to January 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 61 male and 55 female patients with their age of 52±13 years. All the patients were divided into 3 groups according to different types of mechanical heart valves they received. In SJ. Regent valve group,there were 38 patients (33%) including 20 males and 18 females with their average age of 52±15 years. In Carbomedics valve group,there were 40 patients (34%) including 21 males and 19 females with their average age of 51±17 years. In On-X valve group,there were 38 patients (33%) including 20 male and 18 female patients with their average age of 55±16 years. Preoperative and postoperative left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) ejection fraction (EF) interventricular septal thickness,left ventricular wall thickness,trans-aortic valve velocity and pressure,and postoperative effective orifice area index (EOAI) were compared. Results There was no statistical difference in preoperative and postoperative LVESD,LVEDD,EF,interventricular septum thickness and left ventricular wall thickness among the 3 groups (P>0.05). There was statistical difference in preoperative and postoperative trans-aortic valve velocity and pressure. Trans-aortic valve velocity of SJ. Regent valve group and Carbomedics valve group (244.30±33.67 cm/s vs. 249.69±79.13 cm/s vs. 294.83±52.05 cm/s) and trans-aortic valve pressure of SJ.Regent valve group and Carbomedics valve group (27.77±3.33 mm Hg vs. 33.58±18.90 mm Hg vs. 38.56±13.21 mm Hg) were significantly smaller than those of On-X valve group. Conclusion St. Regent and Carbomedics mechanical heart valves demonstrate better hemodynamics in AVR patients receiving 19-mm mechanical heart valves.
