Correction of Congenital Aortic Stenosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Children with congenital aortic stenosis have "excessive" left ventricular hypertrophy with reduced resting systolic wall stress that allows for supernormal ejection performance. If aortic stenosis is uncorrected, this pattern persists until adulthood. The effect of removing the aortic pressure gradient on left ventricular hypertrophy and wall stress in children with congenital aortic stenosis is unknown. To test the hypothesis that removal of the stimulus for hypertrophy by aortic valve replacement or repair would normalize left ventricular mass and wall stress, we measured left ventricular ejection performance, wall stress, and contractile function in seven patients at cardiac catheterization before and 36±7 months after surgical correction of congenital aortic stenosis. After aortic valve replacement or repair, the aortic valve gradient fell from 87±12 to 7+4 mm Hg, and peak left ventricular pressure fell from 187±14 to 128±+8

Background: Balloon valvuloplasty is a relatively new technique for relief of obstruction of aortic valve. The primary results of this procedure are similar to surgical valvotomy with fewer complications and mortality. Materials and methods: One hundred fifty-five patients with congenital aortic stenosis were enrolled in this study over a period of 6 years (1991-1997). Participants were all un...

متن کاملCongenital aortic stenosis. Operative indications and surgical results.
Congenital aortic stenosis is a relatively common disease. It is the one malformation predisposing to sudden death in children. Surgical attempts at correction of critical congenital aortic stenosis have been reported within recent years, but there are no large series with adequate longterm follow up of the post-operative course of children with aortic stenosis. The present report is based on o...
متن کاملAcquired Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Coarctation: Treatment with Percutaneous Self Expandable Stent
Abdominal aortic coarctation is an extremely rare vascular pathology. Its etiology can be congenital or acquired. Here we present a case of acquired infrarenal abdominal coarctation in a 66-year-old woman who complained of low back and legs pain. She had no signs of resting lower limb ischemia, with diminished distal pulses and normal blood pressure in upper and lower extremities. Magnetic reso...

We have reviewed the cases operated upon for correction of congenital aortic stenosis at l'Hôpital Ste-Justine between 1959 and 1969.Twenty-five of the 26 patients were readmitted for complete clinical, radiological and hemodynamic investigation. Fourteen had a valvular stenosis, eight a diaphragmatic subvalvular lesion, and three had mixed lesions.The results lead us to believe that the surgic...
