Prophilactic aortic-root reconstruction in Marfan syndrome
Background The type “A” aortic dissection (AAD) is a dangerous acute complication of the Marfan syndrome. Not only the native outcome of the AAD is life threatening, but even the surgical treatment of this complication is risky. Despite the improving surgical experience and the more effective cerebral and myocardial protection the lethality of the surgical treatment of AAD at Marfan patients is...
متن کاملAortic 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 root surgery in Marfan syndrome.
BACKGROUND As the shortcomings of the Bentall operation and its variants in the Marfan syndrome have become apparent, the recent cusp-sparing techniques (remodeling or reimplantation) bear promise of better mid-term and long-term outcomes. OBJECTIVE To examine the results of aortic root surgery in patients with Marfan syndrome. METHODS During the period March 1994 to September 2007, 220 pat...
متن کاملThoracic aortic wall shear stress atlases in patients with bicuspid aortic valves
Background Wall shear stress (WSS) may be associated with the onset and development of aortopathy in the presence of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) [Michelena, JAMA (2011)]. The use of ‘aortic atlases’ of 3D WSS vectors allows for systematic analysis of WSS differences between large patient cohorts. In this study, a comparison is performed between WSS atlases of BAV patients, BAV patients with aor...
متن کاملAortic flow and wall shear stress in aortic stenosis is associated with left ventricular remodeling
Background Aortic stenosis (AS) can lead to highly variable stress for the left ventricle (LV) and consequently a broad range of LV remodeling. We hypothesize that changes in aortic blood flow caused by AS can contribute to cardiac afterload. The aim of this study was to describe the blood flow patterns in the ascending aorta in patients with AS and to determine its association with LV remodeling.
