The study aim was to evaluate our clinical experience with the CarboMedics heart valve prosthesis.
Between October 1991 and December 2000, 942 consecutive patients (514 males, 428 females; mean age 58+/-11 years; range: 6-78 years) underwent mechanical valve implantation with the CarboMedics prosthesis. Preoperatively, 47% of patients were in NYHA class III and 22% in class IV; in addition, 134 patients (14.2%) had undergone a previous cardiac operation. Aortic valve replacement (AVR) was performed in 469 patients (49.8%), mitral valve replacement (MVR) in 330 (35.0%), double valve replacement (DVR) in 142 (15.1%), and isolated tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) in one patient. Eighty-eight patients (9.3%) underwent associated myocardial revascularization. Mean cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamp times for the entire group were 107+/-39 min and 74+/-24 min, respectively.
Overall early mortality was 2.3% (6/469 AVR, 1.2%; 12/330 MVR, 3.6%; 4/142 DVR, 2.8%). Late mortality was 3.1% (n = 29; including 17 cardiac deaths (10 were valve-related). Mean follow up was 66+/-31 months (range: 1-109 months), and was 98% complete yielding a total follow up of 4959 years. Actuarial survival at five years for the entire group was 89.3+/-1.6% (AVR 91.1%, MVR 86.4%, DVR 90.5%). Thromboembolism occurred in 26 patients (2.8%, 0.52%/pt-year) and major hemorrhagic events in 20 (2.1%, 0.4%/pt-year). Nine patients (0.9%) required a reoperation, in three cases (0.3%) after Staphylococcus epidermidis-mediated endocarditis. No structural deterioration occurred. Among 891 survivors, 94% of the patients are currently in NYHA classes I or II (p <0.05).
This study confirmed the safety and reliability of the CarboMedics mechanical valve prosthesis, even in old age groups. This bileaflet prosthesis showed no structural deterioration, and a low incidence of overall complications.
本研究旨在评估我们使用CarboMedics心脏瓣膜假体的临床经验。
1991年10月至2000年12月期间,942例连续患者(514例男性,428例女性;平均年龄58±11岁;范围:6 - 78岁)接受了CarboMedics假体机械瓣膜植入术。术前,47%的患者为纽约心脏协会(NYHA)III级,22%为IV级;此外,134例患者(14.2%)曾接受过心脏手术。469例患者(49.8%)进行了主动脉瓣置换术(AVR),330例(35.0%)进行了二尖瓣置换术(MVR),142例(15.1%)进行了双瓣膜置换术(DVR),1例患者进行了单纯三尖瓣置换术(TVR)。88例患者(9.3%)同时进行了心肌血运重建。整个组的平均体外循环时间和主动脉阻断时间分别为107±39分钟和74±24分钟。
总体早期死亡率为2.3%(AVR组469例中有6例,1.2%;MVR组330例中有12例,3.6%;DVR组142例中有4例,2.8%)。晚期死亡率为3.1%(n = 29;包括17例心脏死亡(10例与瓣膜相关)。平均随访时间为66±31个月(范围:1 - 109个月),随访完成率为98%,总随访时间为4959人年。整个组五年的精算生存率为89.3±1.6%(AVR组91.1%,MVR组86.4%,DVR组90.5%)。26例患者(2.8%,0.52%/患者年)发生血栓栓塞,20例(2.1%,0.4%/患者年)发生重大出血事件。9例患者(0.9%)需要再次手术,3例(0.3%)是在表皮葡萄球菌介导的心内膜炎后。未发生结构恶化。在891例幸存者中,94%的患者目前处于NYHA I级或II级(p <0.05)。
本研究证实了CarboMedics机械瓣膜假体的安全性和可靠性,即使在老年人群中也是如此。这种双叶瓣膜假体未显示结构恶化,总体并发症发生率较低。
