Early results of aortic root reoperation

چکیده
Background Reoperation of aortic root is considered challenging because of technical difficulty and relatively low incidence of surgical indications. It is still not clear whether the redo root surgery could be performed safely although the primary Bentall procedure is a safe and established operation for aortic root surgery. We evaluated early outcomes of reaortic root replacement comparing to primary Bentall operation.

Different techniques for aortic valve repair and the associated root reconstruction – prospective long-term follow-up of the first 100 patients
INTRODUCTION The advantages of aortic valve and aortic root reconstructive surgery include the provision of natural postoperative valve hemodynamics and the avoidance of prosthetic valve-related complications. A systematic approach based on functional classification of aortic regurgitation allows standardization and reproducibility. Its potential applicability, however, is limited by the relati...
متن کاملOpen aortic valvotomy for congenital aortic stenosis. Late results.
Forty-nine consecutive patients, aged 2 to 28 years, were followed after open aortic valvotomy. Three late deaths occurred in relation to reoperation. Seventeen reoperations were performed 2 to 14 years after valvotomy for severe stenosis in 12 patients, aortic regurgitation in three patients, and aortic stenosis and regurgitation in two patients. Among the 12 patients who required reoperation ...

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the results of various surgical procedures used for aortic root replacement in children with aortic root aneurysm. METHODS Between 1986 and 2007, 23 children (less than 16 years of age, mean age: 8.1+/-5.1 years) underwent elective aortic root replacement for aortic root aneurysm (with associated aortic insufficiency in 10 patients). All had connective tissue defect syndrom...
متن کاملHuman tissue valves in aortic position: determinants of reoperation and valve regurgitation.
BACKGROUND Human tissue valves for aortic valve replacement have a limited durability that is influenced by interrelated determinants. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to analyze the relation between these determinants of durability and valve regurgitation measured by serial echocardiography. METHODS AND RESULTS In adult patients, 218 cryopreserved aortic allografts were implanted with t...
متن کاملRedo aortic root surgery for failure of an aortic homograft is a major technical challenge.
OBJECTIVE Aortic homografts offer many advantages over prosthetic valves. However, homograft dysfunction due to degeneration or infection may lead to reoperation. Aortic valve replacement in patients who have undergone previous aortic root replacement with an aortic homograft remains a technical challenge. To assess reoperation events a retrospective review was conducted. MATERIALS AND METHOD...
