Primary aortic valve replacement with cryopreserved aortic allograft: an echocardiographic follow-up study of 570 patients.
BACKGROUND Despite the many advantages of an aortic allograft valve (AAV) over a prosthetic aortic valve, its durability is suboptimal. The aims of the present study were to document characteristic features of AAV dysfunction and to investigate factors influencing the development of such dysfunction. METHODS AND RESULTS A group of 570 patients (mean age, 48+/-16 years) with a cryopreserved AA...
متن کاملEffect of immunological differences on rat aortic valve allograft calcification.
Calcification may be a cause of allograft valve degeneration. To determine whether immunological differences between donor and recipient affect the degree of calcification that occurs, adult Lewis rats received aortic valve allografts transplanted heterotopically into the abdominal aorta. All valves were transplanted immediately after harvest. The valves were not exposed to antibiotics or album...
متن کاملCardiac retransplantation is an efficacious therapy for primary cardiac allograft failure
BACKGROUND Although orthotopic heart transplantation has been an effective treatment for end-stage heart failure, the incidence of allograft failure has increased, necessitating treatment options. Cardiac retransplantation remains the only viable long-term solution for end-stage cardiac allograft failure. Given the limited number of available donor hearts, the long term results of this treatmen...
متن کاملAutograft or allograft aortic valve replacement in young adult patients with congenital aortic valve disease.
AIMS We analysed the outcome of young adults with congenital aortic valve disease who underwent allograft or autograft aortic valve or root replacement in our institution and evaluated whether there is a preference for either valve substitute. METHODS AND RESULTS Between 1987 and 2007, 169 consecutive patients with congenital aortic valve disease aged 16-55, participating in our ongoing prosp...
متن کاملImplications of bicuspid aortic valves for transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
B icuspid aortic valve (BAV) occurs in 0.5% to 2% of the general population, with strong male predilection. 1 Valvular complications include aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation (AR), and infective endocarditis. Vascular complications comprise aortic dilatation, aneurysm formation, and aortic dissection. Coarctation of the aorta and left coronary artery dominance are also associated with BAV. ...
