Aortic valve replacement in patients with a small aortic root is a subject of ongoing controversy. We summarised our clinical experience with aortic valve replacement with 19 mm valves and combined this with a review of literature.
Between January 1994 and December 1999, 603 patients underwent aortic valve replacement; 51 of these patients (8.3%) received a 19 mm heart valve prosthesis. The mean age was 72±9.7 years. Twenty-eight patients had concomitant coronary artery disease, six patients a combined mitral or tricupid valve disease. In four patients, the intervention was a reoperation. The mean EuroSCORE of the total group was 6.4±2.8, and 34 patients had a high operative risk.
Hospital mortality was 7.8% (4/51 patients). Follow-up of 47 hospital survivors was complete. At 12 months the survival was 90%, at 24 months 85% and at 48 months 60%. NYHA class improved at least one class in 35 patients (85%), and 34 patients declared that their quality of life had improved since the operation.
Aortic valve replacement with a small (19 mm) prosthesis can be performed with an acceptable operative mortality and results in excellent symptomatic improvement and quality of life.
主动脉根部较小的患者进行主动脉瓣置换术一直存在争议。我们总结了使用19毫米瓣膜进行主动脉瓣置换术的临床经验,并结合文献综述。
1994年1月至1999年12月期间,603例患者接受了主动脉瓣置换术;其中51例患者(8.3%)接受了19毫米心脏瓣膜假体植入。平均年龄为72±9.7岁。28例患者合并冠状动脉疾病,6例患者合并二尖瓣或三尖瓣疾病。4例患者接受再次手术。全组平均欧洲心脏手术风险评估系统(EuroSCORE)评分为6.4±2.8,34例患者手术风险高。
医院死亡率为7.8%(4/51例患者)。47例医院幸存者的随访完整。12个月时生存率为90%,24个月时为85%,48个月时为60%。35例患者(85%)纽约心脏协会(NYHA)心功能分级至少改善一级,34例患者表示自手术以来生活质量有所改善。
使用小尺寸(19毫米)假体进行主动脉瓣置换术可获得可接受的手术死亡率,并能显著改善症状和生活质量。
