  • Valve-sparing Aortic Root Replacement: Operation Outcomes and Mid-term Follow-up of De Paulis Valsalva Graf

    ObjectiveTo explore the effect of the reimplantation procedure with the De Paulis Valsalva graft in patients with aneurysms. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 38 patients underwent valve-sparing aortic root replacement using De Paulis graft in our hospital between September 2005 and July 2013.There were 32 male and 6 female patients at age of 45.5±12.4 years. We compared the parameters of pre-operation and post-operation and followed up the patients for 5 years. ResultsThere were 2(5.3%) deaths in hospital. The follow-up time was 2-95 months with following-up rate of 92.1%(35/38). A total of 2 patients(5.3%) had grade 3 to grade 4 aortic insufficiency. And one of these patients received aortic valve replacement after 1 year. At 5 years of following-up, one patient died of septic shock due to pacemaker infection. One patient died of kidney failure due to renal artery dissection aneurysm affected with impaired renal function and long-term hemodialysis. ConclusionThe reimplantation type of valve-sparing procedure can be facilitated by the use of the De Paulis valsalva graft and can be performed with satisfactory perioperative and mid-term results.
