Influence of prosthesis type on long-term survival after re-replacement of aortic valve prosthesis.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of the prosthesis type on early mortality and long-term survival after re-replacement of aortic valve prosthesis, especially in patients over 60 years old. METHODS Late outcome of 223 patients who underwent a reoperation on the aortic valve and received a mechanical (mechanical group) or biological (biological group) heart valve...
متن کاملProsthesis size and long-term survival after aortic valve replacement.
OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to quantify the relationship between prosthesis size adjusted for patient size (prosthesis-patient size) and long-term survival after aortic valve replacement. METHODS Data from nine representative sources on 13,258 aortic valve replacements provided 69,780 patient-years of follow-up (mean 5.3 +/- 4.7 years), with reliable survival estimates to 15 years. Pr...
متن کاملLong-term outcomes after valve replacement for low-gradient aortic stenosis: impact of prosthesis-patient mismatch.
BACKGROUND The long-term outcomes of patients with low-gradient aortic stenosis (LGAS) after aortic valve replacement (AVR) are poorly defined. The purpose of this study was to define the long-term outcomes of LGAS patients after AVR and to evaluate the potential impact of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) in these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS A cohort of 664 patients undergoing AVR for aort...
متن کاملDoes patient-prosthesis mismatch affect long-term results after mitral valve replacement?
BACKGROUND Recently, some articles about patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) of the mitral valve have been published. However, the outcome of PPM of the mitral valve remains controversial. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of mitral valve PPM on clinical results after mitral valve replacement (MVR). METHODS AND RESULTS Eighty-four patients underwent MVR from 1992 to 2005. ...
متن کاملLong-term Survival after Aortic Valve Replacement
up (up to eight years) was obtained in 153 patients (95%). A total of 34 patients (22%) died during the follow-up period. Including the hospital mortality, the actuarial su.vival rate of our patients with SmeloffCutter prosthesis was 0.69 after the fifth year and 0.611 after the eighth year of follow-up. This is similar to the actuarial survival rate of patients with Starr-Edwards prosthesis bu...
