Homograft valve replacement for aortic valve disease.
Our experience with homograft replacement of the aortic valve now includes 175 patients operated on over a period of almost three years, and we have come to aceept this method as the best surgical treatment for aortic incompetence and for calcific aortic stenosis. As others continue to use a ball valve prosthesis, it is important to analyse the results with the homograft valve, paying particula...
متن کاملBacterial endocarditis following homograft replacement of the aortic valve.
Endocarditis was encountered on an aortic homograft valve in 14 of 539 patients, giving a total incidence of 2.6%. It was an early postoperative complication in five patients (0.9%), and only one of these survived. Four hundred and six hospital survivors were followed for periods up to 76 mo. Nine of these patients (2.2%) developed infection of the homograft valve 11 to 66 mo postoperatively an...
متن کاملTransaortic valve-in-valve implantation after previous aortic root homograft.
Catheter-based valve implantation techniques are becoming a viable option in various clinical situations to replace difficult redo open heart surgical procedures. This is a report of a first, to our knowledge, successful valve-in-valve (VinV) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) into a homograft through the transaortic (TAo) access route using an Edwards SAPIEN valve prosthesis (Edwar...
متن کاملMiliary tuberculosis following homograft valve replacement.
Postoperative septicaemia with infective endocarditis is a recognized complication of open-heart surgery, in particular homograft or prosthetic replacement of cardiac valves. Several infective organisms, both bacterial and fungal, have been incriminated but infection due to tubercle bacilli has not, to our knowledge, been reported. The clinicopathological features of this condition are discusse...
متن کاملBioprosthetic valve durability after stentless aortic valve replacement: the effect of implantation technique.
BACKGROUND The Freestyle stentless bioprosthesis (FSB) (Medtronic Inc, Minneapolis, MN) is implanted using 2 techniques-subcoronary or aortic root replacement. Our objective was to determine whether the implantation technique had an impact on late reoperation for structural valve deterioration (SVD). METHODS Between 1993 and 2013, 531 patients underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) or aorti...
