Objective To summarize the surgical experience of aortic regurgitation with lower ejection fraction (EF). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 34 patients with aortic regurgitation and lower ejection fraction received aortic valve replacement in the General Hospital of Shenyang Military Region between January 2012 and December 2013. There were 27 males and 7 females with age of 21-74 (51.03±12.06) years. All surgical procedures were performed under general anesthesia during cardiopulmonary bypass. Results There was no operative mortality. Cardiopulmonary bypass time was 40-155 (60.92±22.89) minutes, aortic clamping time varied from 24 to 79 (37.12±12.61) minutes. Postoperative ventilator-assisted time was 4 to 67 (16.12±12.74) hours. The patients were discharged 8-15 (11.03±2.04) days after surgery. When discharged, EF value was 30% to 48% (41%±4%) and significantly improved compared with that before operation (P<0.01). Pulmonary artery systolic pressure varied from 33 to 50 (38.35±4.35) mm Hg and decreased significantly than that before operation (P<0.01). Left ventricular end-diastolic volume reduced to 168-380 (269.12±52.01) ml and obviously decreased than that before operation (P<0.01). Conclusion Surgical treatment can be carried out on patients with aortic insufficiency and lower EF. Treatment results are satisfactory.
