Valve-sparing aortic root replacements have acceptable reintervention rates in patients with failed pulmonary autografts after a Ross procedure. In our 50-year-old patient with post-Ross valve-sparing aortic root replacement, we report preoperative and postoperative 4-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging capturing changes in peak systolic velocity, 3-dimensional systolic flow profiles, and aortic wall shear stress that may predict a decreased risk of aortic dilation, a common complication in repeated Ross procedures.
在Ross手术后肺动脉自体移植失败的患者中,保留瓣膜的主动脉根部置换术具有可接受的再次干预率。在我们这位接受保留瓣膜的主动脉根部置换术的50岁Ross术后患者中,我们报告了术前和术后的四维血流磁共振成像,该成像捕捉了收缩期峰值速度、三维收缩期血流剖面和主动脉壁剪应力的变化,这些变化可能预示着主动脉扩张风险的降低,主动脉扩张是重复Ross手术中常见的并发症。
