Concomitant aortic valve replacement and coronary bypass: the effect of valve type on the blood flow in bypass grafts.

چکیده
OBJECTIVE In cases of aortic valve replacement, the downstream flow profile and turbulence in the ascending aorta differ according to the prosthetic aortic valve implanted. The objective of this work is to study the influence of prosthetic valve type on the flow in the bypass grafts implanted to the ascending aorta in cases of concomitant aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass. METHODS The study is conducted on 456 patients receiving concomitant aortic valve replacement and coronary bypass vein grafts anastomosed to the ascending aorta. The patients included in the study received a total number of 725 vein grafts, 249 biological aortic valves and 207 mechanical aortic valves. Intraoperative transit time flow measurement was done for all bypass grafts and a multiple regression model was calculated for the factors influencing the flow in the bypass grafts. RESULTS The mean flow in vein grafts in patients receiving biological valves was 49.79+/-26.88 ml/min, while in patients receiving mechanical valves it was 46.54+/-26.68 ml/min. The multiple regression model revealed that receiving a mechanical valve is an independent risk factor for lower flow in the vein grafts. CONCLUSIONS The type of the aortic valve implanted and consequently the downstream flow profile in the ascending aorta do affect the flow in the vein grafts in cases of concomitant aortic valve replacement and coronary bypass. Receiving a mechanical aortic valve is an independent risk factor for lower flow in the vein grafts.

Introduction: It is well-documented that right-sided heart dysfunction and significant tricuspid valve regurgitation (TVR) have adverse effects on patient outcomes after left-sided heart valve surgery. Therefore, the evaluation of right ventriclular (RV) function and TR severity in patients who had undergone mitral valve replacement (MVR), associated with/without concomitant su...

We assessed the effects of aortic valve pathology type on the long-term outcomes of patients who underwent concomitant aortic valve replacement (AVR) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. We retrospectively reviewed 150 patients who underwent AVR-CABG at our institution between January 1997 and December 2006. We divided patients into aortic stenosis (AS), aortic regurgitation (AR)...
