  • Modified Yacoub technique with aortic annuloplasty in patients with aortic root aneurysm

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and safety of modified Yacoub technique with aortic annuloplasty in the patients with aortic root aneurysm and dilatation of aortic annular base.MethodsWe performed a retrospective review of 6 patients with aortic root aneurysm undergoing modified Yacoub technique with aortic annuloplasty from November 2017 to January 2019. There were 5 males and 1 female, with a mean age of 54.1±12.3 years. The preoperative cardiac function of 3 patients was in New York Heart Association (NYHA) classⅡand the other 3 patients were in class Ⅲ. There were two patients with bicuspid aortic valve, and no Marfan syndrome. There was aortic regurgitation in the patients measured by the echocardiogram, 1 in mild aortic regurgitation, 1 in moderate aortic regurgitation, and 4 in severe aortic regurgitation. The diameter of aortic annular base was 27.8±1.9 mm, and the largest diameter of aortic root was 49.8±3.7 mm. Six patients underwent modified Yacoub technique with aortic annuloplasty, including 5 patients who underwent aortic cusp repair at the same time.ResultsAll 6 identified patients survived. There was no severe complication (bleeding, stroke, or acute renal failure). The cardiopulmonary bypass time was 204.6±13.5 min, aortic cross-clamping time 168.0±17.1 min, mechanical ventilation time 21.3±19.5 h, ICU stay time 67.8±62.2 h. The follow-up time ranged from 4 to 18 months with an average time of 12.8±4.7 months. Patients' cardiac function improved postoperatively with four patients in NYHA classⅠand two patients with classⅡ. Two patients had no aortic valve regurgitation, four patients had mild regurgitation. Left ventricular end diastolic volume decreased significantly (118.6±20.4 mL vs. 169.1±58.4 mL, P<0.05).ConclusionThe modified Yacoub technique with aortic annuloplasty is effective and safe for the patients with aortic root aneurysm and dilatation of aortic annular base, and the early- and mid-term outcomes are satisfactory.

  • Short and mid-term outcomes of valve repair in patients with insufficient bicuspid aortic valves

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the short and mid-term outcomes of valve repair in patients with insufficient bicuspid aortic valves (BAV).MethodsThe clinical data of 27 consecutive patients with insufficient BAV undergoing valve repair in Shanghai Chest Hospital from September 2016 to January 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 24 males and 3 females with a mean age of 38.5±14.6 years (range: 20-68 years). BAV of all patients was type 1 in Seviers' classification. There were 23 patients with left-right fusion and 4 patients with right-noncoronary fusion. There was aortic regurgitation in the patients measured by the echocardiogram, including moderate regurgitation in 3 patients, moderate-severe in 18 patients, and severe in 6 patients. The diameter of aortic annular base was 27.9±3.4 mm, and the largest diameter of aortic sinus was 39.9±7.6 mm. Left ventricular end diastolic diameter was 62.7±6.5 mm, and the volume was 197.9±53.6 mL.ResultsAll 27 patients completed the follow-up, and the mean time was 24.2±12.5 months (range: 12-51 months). No patient died or required aortic valve-related reoperation during the follow-up. The cardiac function of the patients significantly improved postoperatively (P<0.05). By echocardiography, 11 patients had no aortic regurgitation, 13 had mild aortic regurgitation, and 3 had moderate aortic regurgitation, and no patient had severe aortic regurgitation. Postoperative left ventricular end diastolic diameter and volume decreased, compared to preoperative ones (P<0.05).ConclusionIn patients with insufficient BAV, valve repair is safe and effective, and has excellent short and mid-term outcomes.

  • Midterm outcomes of valve-sparing aortic root replacement in patients with aortic root aneurysm and moderate to severe aortic regurgitation

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the midterm effect of valve-sparing aortic root replacement (VSRR) on aortic root aneurysm and moderate to severe aortic regurgitation (AR). MethodsThe clinical data of patients with aortic root aneurysm and moderate to severe AR undergoing VSRR and surviving from the operation from October 2013 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 31 males and 9 females, with an average age of 47.1±13.4 years. There were 30 patients with true aneurysm of aortic root and 10 patients with dissecting aneurysm of aortic root. There were 3 patients with bicuspid aortic valve, and 12 patients with Marfan syndrome. The AR measured by the echocardiogram was moderate in 18 patients and severe in 22 patients. The average diameter of aortic annulus was 27.0±3.9 mm, and the mean largest diameter of aortic sinus was 52.3±6.1 mm. ResultsA total of 32 patients underwent David technique and 8 patients underwent Yacoub technique, and 10 patients underwent aortic cusp repair simultaneously. All 40 patients completed the follow-up, and the follow-up period was 12-86 (45.7±18.9) months. During the period, 1 patient died of heart failure, 2 had reoperation due to new-onset Stanford B aortic dissection, and no patients had reoperation related to aortic valve. The postoperative New York Heart Association cardiac function classification (1.6±0.5 vs. 2.8±0.8), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (52.2±7.8 mm vs. 61.4±10.6 mm) and left ventricular end-diastolic volume (136.0±58.8 mL vs. 193.3±83.9 mL) of the patients were significantly improved compared with preoperative ones (P<0.05). By echocardiography, 19 patients had no AR, 18 patients had mild AR, 3 patients had mild-moderate AR, and no patients had moderate or higher AR. ConclusionIn patients with aortic root aneurysm and moderate to severe AR, VSRR technique avoids prosthetic valves and anticoagulation-related complications, has lower rate of AR recurrence and reoperation, and improves the quality of life in the midterm period.

  • Value of aortic root CTA assessment in aortic valve surgery

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the data of preoperative aortic root CT angiography (CTA), compare it with two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography and investigate the correlation of the two measurements with the actual intraoperative measurement data.MethodsClinical data of 53 patients with aortic valve diseases who underwent aortic valve repair in our hospital from January 2018 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 38 males and 15 females with an average age of 42.9±18.3 years ranging from 10 to 77 years. Preoperative two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and aortic root CTA measurements were collected, including aortic valve annulus (AVA), aortic sinus (Sinus) and sino-tubular junction (STJ). In comparison with the intraoperative measurements during the aortic valve repair surgery, the consistency analysis was performed.ResultsBoth the preoperative echocardiography AVA measurements and the CT AVA measurements were positively correlated with the intraoperative AVA measurements (P<0.001). Compared with the echocardiography AVA data [correlation coefficient (ρ)=0.74, mean squarederror (MSE)=12.78], the CT AVA data were more accurate and consistent with the intraoperative AVA measurements (ρ=0.95, MSE=2.72). CT AVA data had a higher correlation coefficient with the intraoperative measurements, compared to that of the echocardiography AVA data (P<0.001).ConclusionIn comparison with two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography, preoperative morphological evaluation of aortic root CTA is more consistent with the actual intraoperative measurements during aortic valve repair surgery.
