Aortic valve-sparing surgery in Marfan syndrome.
BACKGROUND Patients with Marfan syndrome are referred for cardiac surgery due to root aneurysm with or without aortic valve regurgitation. Because these patients are young and frequently present with normal-appearing aortic cusps, valve sparing is often recommended. However, due to the genetic nature of the disease, the durability of such surgery remains uncertain. METHODS Between February 20...
متن کاملAortic valve repair: the functional approach to leaflet prolapse and valve-sparing surgery.
BACKGROUND Combined aortic valve repair and aortic valve-sparing surgery requires an approach determined by the leaflets and aortic root anatomy. METHODS Among patients referred for aortic root aneurysm, 114 patients underwent an aortic valve-sparing procedure in which a reimplantation or remodelling technique was used. The Gelweave Valsalva prosthesis (Sulzer Vascutek, Renfrewshire, UK) was ...
متن کاملValve Sparing Surgery for Papillary Fibroelastoma of the Aortic Valve
Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma (CPF) is a rare benign tumor that involves the heart valves and may cause thromboembolism or arrhythmia. The case is presented of an asymptomatic, 60-year-old woman in whom a fibroelastoma was localized on the ventricular aspect of the non-coronary leaflet of the aortic valve. The patient had only palpitation of the heart, and the tumor was accidentally found dur...
متن کاملAortic root surgery: from valve sparing to 'spare and plasty'.
In the last decade, the aortic root has been receiving increasing attention with the aim of preserving as much as possible a proper function of the natural aortic valve on one hand, and to stabilise its diameter to avoid any further progressive root dilatation on the other hand. In this issue of the journal, two aspects have been raised over the optimal treatment of the pathology of the aortic ...
متن کاملAortic Valve Sparing Operations
The treatment of aortic root and ascending aortic aneurysms often requires addressing concomitant aortic valve pathology. In the setting of aortic stenosis secondary to cusp degeneration, aortic valve replacement (AVR) is performed. However, when patients present with aortic insufficiency and normal cusp anatomy, a dilemma arises. Historically valve replacement has been performed; however, curr...
