The study was designed to investigate the clinical performance of the On-X prosthetic heart valve in a multicenter experience.
Between September 1996 and September 1999, 301 patients (56% males) underwent isolated On-X valve replacement (184 isolated aortic (AVR), 117 isolated mitral (MVR)) at 11 European centers under a standardized protocol. Average age at implant was 60.2 years. Office or hospital follow up was required by the protocol; average follow up on all patients was 11 months.
Thirty-day mortality in the study was 2.2% for AVR and 6.0% for MVR, with valve-related mortality of 0.5% for AVR. There were eight late deaths (0.7%/pt-yr AVR and 2.3%/pt-yr MVR). Two of these deaths were sudden, and thus possibly valve-related (one AVR, one MVR). Early total valve-related morbidity was 3.5% for AVR and 2.6% for MVR. In total, 13 thromboembolic events occurred; one early event in AVR resulted in death (0.5%), and one transient early event occurred in MVR (0.9%). There were 11 late events (seven AVR (1.7%/pt-yr) and four MVR (1.8%/pt-yr)), for a two-year freedom from thromboembolism of 96.6% after AVR and 97.1% after MVR. Three late bleeding events occurred, all after AVR (0.7%/pt-yr and 98.9% free at two years). Major paravalvular leaks requiring reoperation occurred on two occasions early (one AVR (0.5%), one MVR (0.8%)) and once late in MVR (0.5%/pt-yr). Late minor, untreated paravalvular leaks occurred in three AVR patients (0.7%/pt-yr) and in one MVR patient (0.5%/pt-yr). Prosthetic endocarditis occurred four times (two AVR (0.5%/pt-yr), two MVR (0.9%/pt-yr)), all within the first 12 months of surgery. Actuarial freedom from all valve-related events at two years was 88.7% for AVR and 88.1% for MVR. NYHA class was improved in 75.8% of AVR patients and 70.6% of MVR patients at two years after surgery.
These early results indicate that the On-X valve provides satisfactory clinical outcome in the immediate postoperative period, and that the valve is both safe and effective.
本研究旨在通过多中心经验调查On-X人工心脏瓣膜的临床性能。
1996年9月至1999年9月期间,301例患者(56%为男性)在11个欧洲中心按照标准化方案接受了单纯On-X瓣膜置换术(184例单纯主动脉瓣置换术(AVR),117例单纯二尖瓣置换术(MVR))。植入时的平均年龄为60.2岁。方案要求进行门诊或住院随访;所有患者的平均随访时间为11个月。
本研究中,AVR的30天死亡率为2.2%,MVR为6.0%,AVR的瓣膜相关死亡率为0.5%。有8例晚期死亡(AVR为0.7%/患者年,MVR为2.3%/患者年)。其中2例死亡为猝死,因此可能与瓣膜相关(1例AVR,1例MVR)。AVR的早期总瓣膜相关发病率为3.5%,MVR为2.6%。共发生13例血栓栓塞事件;AVR的1例早期事件导致死亡(0.5%),MVR发生1例短暂性早期事件(0.9%)。有11例晚期事件(7例AVR(1.7%/患者年)和4例MVR(1.8%/患者年)),AVR术后两年无血栓栓塞的自由度为96.6%,MVR为97.1%。发生3例晚期出血事件,均发生在AVR术后(0.7%/患者年,两年时98.9%无出血)。早期有2例需要再次手术的严重瓣周漏(1例AVR(0.5%),1例MVR(0.8%)),晚期MVR有1例(0.5%/患者年)。3例AVR患者(0.7%/患者年)和1例MVR患者(0.5%/患者年)发生晚期轻微、未治疗的瓣周漏。人工瓣膜心内膜炎发生4次(2例AVR(0.5%/患者年),2例MVR(0.9%/患者年)),均在术后12个月内。AVR术后两年所有瓣膜相关事件的无事件生存率为88.7%,MVR为88.1%。术后两年,75.8%的AVR患者和70.6%的MVR患者纽约心脏协会(NYHA)心功能分级得到改善。
这些早期结果表明,On-X瓣膜在术后即刻提供了令人满意的临床结果,且该瓣膜安全有效。
