OBJECTIVES To present named surgeon mortality for isolated first time coronary artery surgery and aortic valve surgery. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. SETTING All NHS hospitals undertaking adult cardiac surgery in north west England. PARTICIPANTS 25 consultant surgeons carrying out coronary artery surgery and aortic valve replacement between April 2001 and ...
Prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis is associated with valve ring abscess, conduction abnormalities and a grave prognosis. Aortic root abscess is a serious complication of infective endocarditis with high mortality. We report a case of a patient who had echocardiographic features resembling aortic root abscess along with severe aortic regurgitation, 6 weeks following aortic valve replacement. ...
Brucella endocarditis is an uncommon but not rare manifestation of brucellosis in our country. We report six adult patients aged 20 to 45 years. Two of our patients were female, and this is the first time that Brucella endocarditis was reported in adult females. In five cases, aortic valve replacement was performed in addition to combined antibiotic therapy. One of them died due to immedia...
BACKGROUND Aortic stenosis is of concern in the elderly. Although aortic valve replacement provides good long-term survival with functional improvement, many elderly patients are still not referred for surgery because of their age. Percutaneous aortic valve implantation offers an alternative to open-heart surgery. Concerns about the management of aortic valve stenosis in the elderly will be rev...
Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital condition that occurs not only as an isolated anomaly, but also with other cardiac defects. We describe a 10-year-old boy whose aortic stenosis was diagnosed during infancy. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed dilation of the left ventricle, valvular and subvalvular aortic stenosis, bicuspid aortic valve, aortic regurgitation, and mitral valve ...
Introduction Replacement of the aortic valve in patients with a small aortic annulus is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. A prosthesis-patient mismatch is one of the main problems associated with failed valves in this patient population. Objective To evaluate the long-term mortality predictors in patients with a small aortic annulus undergoing aortic valve replacement with a ...
Patients with liver cirrhosis are prone to the development of severe complications associated with high mortality rates after major surgery, especially cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We report the case of a 65-year-old man with acute infective endocarditis and aortic valve perforation, complicated by non-cardiac liver cirrhosis (Child-Pugh class B). After careful preoperati...
A 23-year-old man was admitted for an aortic root aneurysm with mild aortic valve regurgitation (AR) and a small pressure gradient. At surgery, findings of aortic valve, one normal left posterior commissure and very rudimentary right anterior commissure, was compatible with the uni-commisural aortic valve. Aortic root replacement with valve-sparing technique was performed. Four years later no r...
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has shown favorable outcomes in patients with severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis who are at high surgical risk or are unsuitable candidates for open heart surgery. However, concerns exist over treating patients who have previously undergone mitral valve surgery due to the potential interference between the mitral prosthetic valve or ring and ...
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to use transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to define the mechanisms of aortic regurgitation (AR) in acute type A aortic dissection so as to assist the surgeon in identifying patients with mechanisms of AR suitable for valve preservation. BACKGROUND Significant AR frequently complicates acute type A aortic dissection necessitating either aortic valve...
