Aortic Valve Reoperation After Stentless Bioprosthesis: Short- and Long-Term Outcomes.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Limited data are available regarding outcomes for stentless aortic valve reoperation. The reported reoperative mortality has been unacceptably high. METHODS:Between 1997 and 2017, a retrospective analysis was performed on 143 patients who underwent open aortic valve reoperations for failed stentless aortic valve bioprostheses. We evaluated both short-term and long-term outcomes on this cohort of patients. RESULTS:Bicuspid aortic valve was present in 107 of 143 patients (75%) at the time of the initial Freestyle (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) procedure, and 120 of 143 patients (84%) underwent a modified inclusion aortic root replacement procedure. The interval from first operation to reoperation was 9 years (range, 5.4 to 11.8), which was significantly shorter for patients with infectious endocarditis (4.1 years; range, 1.8 to 7.1) compared with patients with structural valvular deterioration (10.4 years; range, 8.1 to 12.4, p < 0.001). The median age at the time of reoperation was 59 years (range, 50 to 67). Aortic valve reoperation was performed for structural valve deterioration in 68% cases compared with 32% for infectious prosthetic valve endocarditis. Concomitant surgery included coronary artery bypass (13%), mitral valve surgery (4%), and ascending aorta and arch replacement (42%). The 30-day and inhospital mortality was 1% and 2%, respectively. The composite outcome including myocardial infarction, stroke, new-onset renal failure on hemodialysis, and operative mortality was 4%. The 5-year and 10-year Kaplan-Meier survival after reoperation for failed stentless valve was 83% (95% confidence interval: 73% to 89%) and 57% (95% confidence interval: 36% to 74%). CONCLUSIONS:Aortic valve reoperation after stentless valve implantation can be performed with low operative mortality and favorable long-term survival.

Project description:BackgroundThe implantation of stentless valves is technically demanding and the outcome may depend on the performance of surgeons. We studied systematically the role of surgeons and other possible determinants for mid-term survival, postoperative gradients and Quality of Life (QoL) after aortic valve replacement (AVR) with Freestyle stentless bioprostheses.MethodsBetween 1996 and 2003, 587 patients (mean 75 years) underwent AVR with stentless Medtronic Freestyle(R) bioprostheses. Follow-up was 99% complete. Determinants of morbidity, mortality, survival time and QoL were evaluated by multiple, time-related, regression analysis. Risk models were built for all sections of the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP): energy, pain, emotional reaction, sleep, social isolation and physical mobilityResultsActuarial freedom from aortic valve re-operation, structural valve deterioration, non-structural valve dysfunction, prosthetic valve endocarditis and thromboembolic events at 6 years were 95.9 +/- 2.1%, 100%, 98.7 +/- 0.5%, 97.0 +/- 1.5%, 79.6 +/- 4.3%, respectively. The actuarial freedom from bleeding events at 6 years was 93.1 +/- 1.9%. Estimated survival at 6 years was similar to the age-matched German population (61.4 +/- 3.8 %). Predictors of survival time were: diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, peripheral vascular disease, renal dysfunction, female gender > 80 years and patients < 165 cm with BMI < 24. Predictive models showed characteristic profiles and good discriminative powers (c-indexes > 0.7) for each of the 6 QoL sections. Early transvalvular gradients were identified as independent risk factors for impaired physical mobility (c-index 0.77, p < 0.002). A saturated propensity score identified besides patient related factors (e.g. preoperative gradients, ejection fraction, haematological factors) indexed geometric orifice area, subcoronary implantation technique and individual surgeons as predictors of high gradients.ConclusionIn addition to the valve size (in relation to body size), subcoronary technique (versus total root) and various patient-related factors the risk of elevated gradients after stentless valve implantation depends, considerably on the individual surgeon. Although there was no effect on survival time and most aspects of QoL, higher postoperative transvalvular gradients affect physical mobility after AVR.
