Rapid-Deployment Aortic Valve Replacement after Previous Mechanical Valve Implantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent studies report a reproducible reduction of myocardial ischemic and cardiopulmonary bypass times along with excellent hemodynamics and low rates of paravalvular leakage for rapid-deployment valves. A 68-year-old female patient with aortic stenosis and a mechanical mitral valve which was implanted in 2006 received rapid-deployment aortic valve replacement. The procedure could be performed with a cross-clamp time of 45 minutes and a cardiopulmonary bypass time of 60 minutes. Postoperative course was uncomplicated and the patient was discharged to the referring hospital on postoperative day 8.

A 73-year old woman who had previous mechanical mitral valve replacement (MVR) presented with worsening symptoms of dyspnea. Echocardiographic evaluation revealed severe aortic stenosis with calcified trileaflet aortic valve (aortic valve area was 0.9 cm2, mean gradient was 42 mm Hg with 45% ejection fraction). Society of Thoracic Surgeons score of the patient was 8.9%, mean logistic European s...

Introduction: With the development of interventional cardiology in the world, in addition to coronary and aortic diseases, the treatment of heart valve diseases through catheters has recently begun. The treatment of aortic stenosis (which was only possible with open surgery and valve replacement) was first performed in the world in 2002 by Alain Cribier in France with catheter insertion of the ...

Introduction: Prosthetic valve thrombosis is a rare and severe complication of valve replacement, most often encountered with a mechanical prosthesis. The significant morbidity and mortality associated with this condition warrant rapid diagnostic evaluation. Although surgery is the first-line therapy in symptomatic obstructive mechanical valve thrombosis, thrombolytic therapy has been used as a...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a new method for patients with severe aortic stenosis at high surgical risk, such as previous cardiac surgery. The presence of mechanical mitral prosthesis might complicate TAVI because of possible interference between the both prosthesis. Some reports have already demonstrated the feasibility of TAVI in such patients. We report our experience w...
متن کاملSuccessful transapical aortic valve replacement in a patient with a previous mechanical mitral valve replacement.
In this case we illustrate our experience with transapical minimal invasive aortic valve replacement in a patient who previously underwent mitral valve replacement. The implantation did not interfere with the existing prosthesis and could even be used as a further landmark, helping height positioning of the aortic valve.
