The Sorin Bicarbon (SB) bileaflet valve, available since 1990, has a good clinical safety profile. The study aim was to assess the long-term clinical results following implantation, plus hemodynamic and hematological aspects of the valve.
A total of 195 SB prostheses (100 aortic, 67 mitral, 14 double valve replacements) was implanted in 181 patients (108 males, 73 females) since 1991.
Mean age at implantation was 60.5 +/- 10.8 years. Actuarial analysis at 9.0 years showed an overall survival of 63.9 +/- 5.5%; 28.2% of deaths were early (n = 11), and 71.8% late (n = 28). Freedom from thrombosis was 99.4 +/- 0.6% (one early event, successfully reoperated on), and from embolic events was 86.3 +/- 4.7%. Freedom from endocarditis and hemorrhagic complications were respectively 98.1 +/- 1.1% and 98.6 +/- 0.9%. No occurrence of hemolysis was reported. Freedom from non-structural valve dysfunction was 98.7 +/- 0.9%, and from reoperation was 96.1 +/- 1.6%. Hemodynamic evaluation by echocardiography and hematological testing was performed at 7.0 +/- 1.3 years (range 5-9 years) in a subset of 31 patients (20 males, 11 females). Mean valve size was 23.9 mm for aortic mitral. Echocardiography showed that aortic valves had a mean effective orifice area (EOA) of 2.26 +/- 1.28 cm2, with peak and mean pressure gradients of 23.6 +/- 14.6 and 12.9 +/- 8.1 mmHg, respectively. The mean EOA of mitral valve prostheses was 2.67 +/- 0.66 cm2, with peak and mean pressure gradients of 12.2 +/- 4.5 and 3.8 +/- 1.6 mmHg, respectively. Overall mean hemoglobin was 13.4 +/- 1.35 g/dl, and serum lactate dehydrogenase 630 +/- 13 IU/l. Serum haptoglobin was detectable in one patient only, and the mean reticulocyte count was 1.24 +/- 0.51%.
In the present authors' experience, the Sorin Bicarbon prosthesis has low complication rates and maintains an excellent hemodynamic function over time. Hemolytic potential is insignificant with this valve.
索林双叶瓣(SB)自1990年开始应用,具有良好的临床安全性。本研究旨在评估该瓣膜植入后的长期临床结果,以及其血流动力学和血液学方面的情况。
自1991年起,共181例患者(108例男性,73例女性)植入了195个SB人工瓣膜(100个主动脉瓣,67个二尖瓣,14个双瓣膜置换)。
植入时的平均年龄为60.5±10.8岁。9.0年的精算分析显示总体生存率为63.9±5.5%;28.2%的死亡为早期死亡(n = 11),71.8%为晚期死亡(n = 28)。血栓形成的发生率为99.4±0.6%(1例早期事件,成功再次手术),栓塞事件的发生率为86.3±4.7%。心内膜炎和出血并发症的发生率分别为98.1±1.1%和98.6±0.9%。未报告有溶血发生。非结构性瓣膜功能障碍的发生率为98.7±0.9%,再次手术的发生率为96.1±1.6%。对31例患者(20例男性,11例女性)进行了超声心动图血流动力学评估和血液学检测,时间为7.0±1.3年(范围5 - 9年)。主动脉二尖瓣的平均瓣膜尺寸为23.9 mm。超声心动图显示主动脉瓣的平均有效瓣口面积(EOA)为2.26±1.28 cm²,峰值和平均压力阶差分别为23.6±14.6和12.9±8.1 mmHg。二尖瓣人工瓣膜的平均EOA为2.67±0.66 cm²,峰值和平均压力阶差分别为12.2±4.5和3.8±1.6 mmHg。总体平均血红蛋白为13.4±1.35 g/dl,血清乳酸脱氢酶为630±13 IU/l。仅1例患者可检测到血清触珠蛋白,平均网织红细胞计数为1.24±0.51%。
根据作者的经验,索林双叶瓣人工瓣膜并发症发生率低,且长期保持良好的血流动力学功能。该瓣膜的溶血可能性极小。
