Valve sparing surgery in an adult patient with dextrocardia and annuloaortic ectasia

چکیده
We report the case of a patient with situs inversus totalis, annuloaortic ectasia complicated by aortic insufficiency and mitral regurgitation which induced congestive heart failure. Both valvular lesions were repaired physiologically using aortic root sparing Yacoub 'remodeling' technique and mitral ring annuloplasty. Valve sparing techniques can be used effectively even in patients with complicated clinical scenarios (like dextrocardia and annuloaortic ectasia) to avoid the potential risks related to prosthetic valve implantation and lifelong anticoagulation therapy.

We report about a 37 year old male patient with a pectus excavatum. The patient was in NYHA functional class III. After performed computed tomography the symptoms were thought to be related to the severity of chest deformation. A Ravitch-procedure had been accomplished in a district hospital in 2009. The crack of a metal bar led to a reevaluation 2010, in which surprisingly the presence of an a...

OBJECTIVE Aortic valve incompetence associated with severe aortic ectasia is usually treated by aortic valve and ascending aorta replacement. In cases of isolated aortic ectasia or in Type A aortic dissection the valve is often normal and the incompetence is just due to annular dilatation. Such conditions lead to the application of various valve-sparing surgical techniques, as described by Senn...

Methods Between June 1996 and November 2012, 21 patients who underwent aortic valve sparing for aortic root aneurysm were retrospectively reviewed. Mean age was 45 ± 16 years. 9 patients had Marfan syndrome and one patient had Takayasu arteritis. All patients had tricuspid aortic valve except one patient with bicuspid valve, and 15 patients showed moderate or severe degree of aortic regurgitati...

We report a case of simultaneous repair of an extensive thoracic aortic aneurysm from the aortic root to the distal aortic arch. A 54-year-old male had annuloaortic ectasia and a transverse aortic and distal arch aneurysm. Aneurysms of the descending aorta and the abdominal aorta were also demonstrated. The patient underwent aortic valve-sparing root reconstruction, replacement of the aortic ar...

Four cases of simultaneous surgery for aortic root aneurysm with aortic regurgitation and coarctation of the aorta were presented. Age at surgery ranged from 18 to 37 years and all were male. All had annuloaortic ectasia and dilatation of the ascending aorta, 3 had bicuspid aortic valve and 1 had acute localized aortic dissection. Preoperative grade of aortic regurgitation was trivial in 1, mod...
