ABSTRACT
Background:
Surgical valve repair is a good alternative for correction of incompetent bicuspid aortic valve.Aim:
To report the early and late surgical, clinical and ecochardiographic results of surgical repair of incompetent bicuspid aortic valves. Patients andmethods:
Retrospective review of medical records of 18 patients aged 19 to 61 years, with incompetent bicuspid aortic valve in whom a valve repair was performed. Four patients had infectious endocarditis and 17 were in functional class I or II. Follow up ranged from 3 to 113 months after surgery.Results:
A triangular resection of the prolapsing larger cusp, which included the middle raphe, was performed in 17 cases; in 13 of these, a complementary subcommisural annuloplasty was performed. In the remaining case, with a perforation of the non-coronary cusp, a pericardial patch was implanted; this procedure was also performed in 2 other cases. In 3 cases large vegetations were removed. Postoperative transesophageal echocardiography showed no regurgitation in 11 patients (62percent) and mild regurgitation in 7 (38percent). There was no operative morbidity or mortality. There were no deaths during the follow-up period. In 3 patients (17percent) the aortic valve was replaced with a mechanical prosthesis, 8 to 108 months after the first operation. Reoperation was not needed in 93percent±6,4percent at 1 year and 85percent±9,5percentat 5 years, these patients were all in functional class I at the end of the follow-up period. 60percen had no aortic regurgitation, 20percent had mild and 20percent moderate aortic regurgitation on echocardiographic examination. A significant reduction of the diastolic diameter of the left ventricle was observed, but there were no significant changes in systolic diameter or shortening fraction.Conclusions:
Surgical repair of incompetent bicuspid aortic valves has low operative morbidity and mortality and has a low risk of reoperation.
