Aortic valve replacement for aortic regurgitation and stenosis, in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction.
OBJECTIVE Aortic valve replacement for aortic valve stenosis (AS) and regurgitation (AR) in patients with severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction contains an increased risk. Few data are available on the outcome of such patients. METHODS Fifty-five consecutive patients with severe LV dysfunction (ejection fraction, EF; <30%) and aortic valve replacement for AS (n=35) or AR (n=20) were invest...
متن کاملAortic valve replacement in patients with aortic stenosis and severe left ventricular dysfunction.
BACKGROUND The outcome of aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis is worse in patients with impaired left ventricular function. Such dysfunction in aortic stenosis may be reversible if caused by afterload mismatch, but not if it is caused by superimposed myocardial infarction. METHODS From our echocardiography database, 55 patients with severe aortic stenosis (valve area < or =0.7...
متن کاملImpact of left ventricular dysfunction on outcome in aortic stenosis patients after aortic valve replacement.
Surgical treatment for aortic stenosis includes aortic valve replacement, which alleviates symptoms and increases longevity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of left ventricular dysfunction after aortic valve replacement. Left ventricular function was assessed by a retrospective review of preoperative and postoperative ejection fractions (EF) using echocardiography. The ...
متن کاملSurvival after aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis with low transvalvular gradients and severe left ventricular dysfunction.
OBJECTIVE We sought to assess whether aortic valve replacement (AVR) among patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and a low transvalvular gradient (TVG) is associated with improved survival. BACKGROUND The optimal management of patients with severe AS with severe LV dysfunction and a low TVG remains controversial. METHODS Between 1990 and 1998, w...
متن کاملAsymptomatic severe aortic stenosis with left ventricular dysfunction: watchful waiting or valve replacement?
Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disorder in older adults. Patients with severe AS are generally treated nonsurgically if asymptomatic and referred to aortic valve replacement when symptoms develop. However, patients with severe asymptomatic AS with left ventricular dysfunction may benefit from early aortic valve replacement. Although operative mortality in patients with s...
