RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The selection of valve prostheses for patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) remains controversial. In this study, we compared the long-term outcomes of patients undergoing aortic valve replacement with biological or mechanical aortic valve prostheses. METHODS: We evaluated late results among 5,762 patients aged 45-74 years who underwent biological or mechanical aortic valve replacement with or without concomitant coronary artery bypass from 1989 to 2019 at four medical centers. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to compare late survival; the age-dependent effect of prosthesis type on long-term survival was evaluated by an interaction term between age and prosthesis type. Incidences of stroke, major bleeding, and reoperation on the aortic valve following the index procedure were compared between prosthesis groups. RESULTS: Overall, 61% (n=3,508) of patients received a bioprosthesis. The 30-day mortality rate was 1.7% (n=58) in the bioprosthesis group and 1.5% (n=34) in the mechanical group (P=0.75). During a mean follow-up of 9.0 years, the adjusted risk of mortality was higher in the bioprosthesis group (HR=1.30, P<0.001). The long-term survival benefit associated with mechanical prosthesis persisted until 70 years of age. Bioprosthesis (vs mechanical prosthesis) was associated with a similar risk of stroke (P=0.20), lower risk of major bleeding (P<0.001), and higher risk of reoperation (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Compared to bioprostheses, mechanical aortic valves are associated with a lower adjusted risk of long-term mortality in patients aged 70 years or younger. Patients <70 years old undergoing SAVR should be informed of the potential survival benefit of mechanical valve substitutes.

RESUMO

Transcatheter technologies triggered the recent revision of the guidelines that progressively widened the indications for the treatment of aortic stenosis. On the surgical realm, a technology avoiding the need for sutures to anchor the prosthesis to the aortic annulus has been developed with the aim to reduce the duration of cardiopulmonary bypass and simplify the process of valve implantation. In addition to a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)-like stent that exerts a radial force, these so-called "rapid deployment valves" or "sutureless valves" for aortic valve replacement also have cuffs to improve sealing and reduce the risk of paravalvular leak. Despite promising, the actual advantage of sutureless valves over traditional surgical procedures (surgical aortic valve replacement) or TAVR is still debated. This review summarizes the current comparative evidence reporting outcomes of "sutureless valves" for aortic valve replacement to TAVR and surgical aortic valve replacement in the treatment of aortic valve stenosis.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the occurrence of restricted cusp motion (RCM) at the time of bioprosthetic tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) and analyze associated risk factors and outcomes. METHODS: This study involved adult patients who underwent TVR with a bioprosthesis at our institution between 2012 and 2022. Bioprosthetic cusp motion was analyzed de novo through a detailed review of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiograms (TEE). Two models of porcine valves were implanted: the Medtronic Hancock II bioprosthesis and the St Jude Medical Epic bioprosthesis. RESULTS: Among the 476 patients who met the inclusion criteria, RCM was identified on immediate post-bypass TEE in 150 (31.5%); there was complete immobility of the cusp in 63 patients (13.2%) and limited movement of a cusp in 87 patients (18.3%). In a multivariable logistic regression analysis, the Hancock II model (odds ratio [OR], 6.15; P < .001), a larger orifice area (per IQR increase: OR, 1.58; P = .017), a smaller body surface area (per IQR increase: OR, .68; P = .040), and a lower ejection fraction (per IQR increase: OR, .60; P = .033) were independently associated with having RCM. Cox regression adjusting for 15 covariates revealed that RCM at the time of TVR was independently associated with an increased risk of mortality (hazard ratio, 1.35; P = .049). CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed a high incidence of RCM in bioprosthetic valves in the tricuspid position detected shortly postimplantation, which was associated with increased late mortality. To reduce the probability of RCM, it is important to select the appropriate prosthesis model and size, particularly in small patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Limited data exist on the long-term outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve insertion (TAVI) in nonagenarian patients. This study investigated the relationship between patient baseline comorbidity and frailty on the long-term outcome of the nonagenarian population. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 187 consecutive nonagenarian patients who underwent TAVI from 2009 to 2020. Multivariable models were used to analyze the association between baseline patient and frailty variables and mortality, stroke, and repeat hospitalization. Long-term survival was compared with an age- and sex-matched United States population. RESULTS: The median Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk of mortality was 10% (interquartile range, 7%-17%). Frailty was met in 72% of patients based on the 5-meter walk test, 13% based on the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire 12-item instrument score, 12% based on Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living, and 8% based on serum albumin levels. Procedure-related death occurred in 3 patients (2%) and stroke in 8 (4%). The median duration of follow-up was 3.4 years. Outcomes included death in 150 patients (80%), stroke in 15, and repeat hospitalization in 114. Multivariable analysis identified no association between any of the baseline patient variables with mortality, stroke, repeat hospitalization, or the combined outcomes (all P > .05). The 1- and 5-year survival rates in TAVI-treated nonagenarians were similar to age- and sex-matched controls (P = .27). CONCLUSIONS: Long-term death or stroke is independent of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk of mortality and frailty risk variables in this nonagenarian patient population who received TAVI. Furthermore, survival is similar to age- and sex-matched controls.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There are limited data comparing hemodynamic valve function in mechanical aortic valve prostheses. This study compared the hemodynamic function of 2 commonly used mechanical aortic valve (AV) prostheses, the On-X (Artivion) and Top Hat (CarboMedics Inc) valves. METHODS: This study was a retrospective analysis of 512 patients who underwent AV replacement with the On-X (n = 252; 49%) or Top Hat (n = 260; 51%) mechanical valves between 2011 and 2019. Patients were matched on the basis of selected variables. Echocardiographic data were collected preoperatively and postoperatively over a median follow-up of 1.39 years. RESULTS: A total of 320 patients were matched, 160 patients in each group. Despite being matched for left ventricular outflow tract diameter, patients in the Top Hat group received a greater prevalence of smaller tissue annulus diameter valves (≤21 mm) (83% vs 38%; P < .001). Patients in the On-X group had longer aortic cross-clamp times (78 minutes vs 64 minutes; P < .001) during isolated aortic valve replacement. Discharge echocardiography showed no difference in the AV area index between both groups (1.00 cm2/m2 vs 1.02 cm2/m2; P = .377). During longer-term echocardiographic follow-up, the AV area index remained stable for both valves within their respective tissue annulus diameter groups (P = .060). CONCLUSIONS: There was no difference between the 2 valves with respect to the AV area index at discharge, and hemodynamic function was stable during longer-term follow-up. The longer aortic cross-clamp time observed in the On-X group may indicate increased complexity of implantation compared with the Top Hat group.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the presentation, aortic involvement, and surgical outcomes in patients with Takayasu arteritis undergoing aortic surgery. METHODS: We queried our surgical database for patients with Takayasu arteritis who underwent aortic surgery from 1994 to 2022. RESULTS: There were a total of 31 patients with Takayasu arteritis who underwent aortic surgery. Patients' median age at the time of diagnosis was 35.0 years (interquartile range, 25.0-42.0). The majority were female (n = 27, 87.0%). Most patients (n = 28, 90.3%) were diagnosed before surgery, and 3 patients (9.6%) were diagnosed perioperatively. The median time interval from diagnosis to surgery was 2.8 years (interquartile range, 0.5-13.9). The most common presentation was ascending aorta aneurysm (n = 22, 70.9%), and severe aortic regurgitation was the most common valve insufficiency (n = 17, 54.8%). The most common operation was ascending aorta replacement (n = 20, 64.5%), and aortic valve replacement was the most common valve intervention (n = 17, 54.8%). Active vasculitis was identified in 2 (11.7%) aortic valve specimens. Early mortality was 6.5% (n = 2). A total of 6 deaths occurred over a median follow-up of 13.1 years (interquartile range, 6.1-25.2). Survival at 10 years was 86.7% (95% CI, 75.4-99.7). A total of 5 patients (16.1%) required a subsequent operation in a median of 1.9 years (interquartile range, 0.2-7.4). Freedom from reoperation was 96.9% (95% CI, 90.1-100) at 1 year, 89.4% (95% CI, 78.7-100.0) at 5 years, and 77.5% (95% CI, 61.2-98.1) at 10 and 15 years. CONCLUSIONS: Ascending aorta aneurysm and aortic valve regurgitation are the most frequent presentations in patients with Takayasu arteritis requiring aortic surgery. Surgery in these individuals is safe, with acceptable short- and long-term results.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) remains a highly life-threatening condition. This study investigates factors associated with fatal ATAAD prior to surgical treatment. METHODS: We reviewed autopsy reports of ATAAD decedents who died before surgical intervention and underwent postmortem examination at our clinic from 1994 to 2022. RESULTS: Among 94 eligible cases, 50 (53.2%) decedents had DeBakey type I dissection, and 44 (46.8%) had DeBakey type II dissection. Most were males, 63 (67%), and 72 (77%) had a history of hypertension. The median age was 70.5 years, and the type II group was a decade older than the type I group (P < 0.001). Decedents in the type II group predominantly died during the first hour after symptoms onset 16 (52%), while in the type I group, fatalities occurred between 1 h and 1 day, 27 (66%). The most common site of the intimal tear was the midportion of the ascending aorta, 45 (48%). The median ascending aorta size was 5 cm for the entire cohort, 5.2 cm for type I and 4.6 cm for type II (P < 0.045). CONCLUSIONS: In this autopsy study of fatal acute aortic dissection, the median aortic size was below the current guideline threshold for elective repair. Type II acute aortic dissections were found more frequently than expected and were characterized by older age, advanced aortic atherosclerosis, smaller aortic size, a shorter interval from symptom onset to death and a higher frequency of syncope compared to type I dissection.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare all-cause mortality and thromboembolic events in patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (sAVR) receiving anticoagulation with warfarin versus patients with no systemic anticoagulation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Using data from the OptumLabs Data Warehouse, we investigated adult patients having bioprosthetic sAVR with or without coronary artery bypass from January 1, 2007, through December 31, 2019. Patients were classified into groups of nonwarfarin or warfarin (≥30 days of continuous prescription coverage after sAVR). One-to-one propensity score (PS) matching was used to adjust for group differences. RESULTS: Of 10,589 patients having sAVR, 7659 (72.3%) were in the nonwarfarin group and 2930 (27.7%) were in the warfarin group. After PS matching, 2930 pairs of patients were analyzed. Median follow-up was 4.1 months (interquartile range [IQR], 2.6-7.4 months) for the warfarin group and 21.3 months (IQR, 7.8-24.0 months) for the nonwarfarin group. Overall mortality was lower for the warfarin group than for the nonwarfarin group (hazard ratio [HR], 0.68; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.47 to 1.00; P=.047), and there was a trend toward decreased cumulative incidence of thromboembolic events (subdistribution HR [SHR], 0.62; 95% CI, 0.35 to 1.07; P=.09). Cumulative incidence of major bleeding events was higher for the warfarin group vs the nonwarfarin group (SHR, 1.94; 95% CI, 1.28 to 2.94; P=.002). Results were similar in a subgroup analysis of patients undergoing isolated sAVR. CONCLUSION: During the prescription coverage period, warfarin use after bioprosthetic sAVR was associated with lower all-cause mortality and decreased risk of thromboembolism compared with not receiving warfarin. However, warfarin use was associated with an increased risk of major bleeding events.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Owing to a lack of supportive data, tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is usually not addressed in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Here we evaluated changes in TR degrees over time and its impact on survival in patients undergoing CABG. METHODS: We reviewed the data of 9726 patients who underwent isolated CABG between January 2000 and January 2021. According to preoperative TR severity, patients were stratified into nonsignificant (none to trivial, mild) and significant (moderate to severe) TR groups. We excluded patients who had undergone previous tricuspid valve surgery, pacemaker placement, and concomitant valve or ablative surgery. Propensity score matching and Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify associations between TR grade and the primary outcome of all-cause mortality. The secondary outcome was change in TR severity on the last echocardiogram. RESULTS: After propensity score matching, 380 patients in each group were identified. At baseline, 359 patients had moderate TR (94.5%) and 21 (5.5%) had severe TR. On the last follow-up echocardiogram, TR had improved in 40.5% of the patients in the significant TR group. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed significantly lower survival in patients with significant preoperative TR compared to those with nonsignificant TR (P < .001). After adjusting for other confounders, survival was no worse in the patients with significant TR group (hazard ratio, 1.05; 95% confidence interval, 0.80-1.38; P = .70). CONCLUSIONS: Significant preoperative TR improved in 40.5% of patients after isolated CABG. After adjusting for other factors, significant TR did not affect long-term survival.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Previous studies demonstrated transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with an earlier generation balloon-expandable valve to be noninferior to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for death and disabling stroke in intermediate-risk patients with symptomatic, severe aortic stenosis at 5 years. However, limited long-term data are available with the more contemporary SAPIEN 3 (S3) bioprosthesis. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare 5-year risk-adjusted outcomes in intermediate-risk patients undergoing S3 TAVR vs SAVR. METHODS: Propensity score matching was performed to account for baseline differences in intermediate-risk patients undergoing S3 TAVR in the PARTNER 2 (Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves) S3 single-arm study and SAVR in the PARTNER 2A randomized clinical trial. The primary composite endpoint consisted of 5-year all-cause death and disabling stroke. RESULTS: A total of 783 matched pairs of intermediate-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis were studied. There were no differences in the primary endpoint between S3 TAVR and SAVR at 5 years (40.2% vs 42.7%; HR: 0.87; 95% CI: 0.74-1.03; P = 0.10). The incidence of mild or greater paravalvular regurgitation was more common after S3 TAVR. There were no differences in structural valve deterioration-related stage 2 and 3 hemodynamic valve deterioration or bioprosthetic valve failure. CONCLUSIONS: In this propensity-matched analysis of intermediate-risk patients, 5-year rates of death and disabling stroke were similar between S3 TAVR and SAVR. Rates of structural valve deterioration-related hemodynamic valve deterioration were similar, but paravalvular regurgitation was more common after S3 TAVR. Longer-term follow-up is needed to further evaluate differences in late adverse clinical events and bioprosthetic valve durability.

RESUMO

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) portends poor prognosis in patients with aortic stenosis (AS). Objectives: This study aimed to study the association of AF vs. sinus rhythm (SR) with outcomes in asymptomatic severe AS during routine clinical practice. Methods: We identified 909 asymptomatic patients from 3,208 consecutive patients with aortic valve area ≤1.0 cm2 and left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50% at a tertiary academic center. Patients were grouped by rhythm at the time of transthoracic echocardiogram [SR: 820/909 (90%) and AF: 89/909 (10%)]. Propensity-matched analyses (2 SR:1 AF) matching 174 SR to 89 AF patients by age, sex, and clinical comorbidities were used to compare outcomes. Results: In the propensity-matched cohort, median age (82 ± 8 vs. 81 ± 9 years, p = 0.31), sex distribution (male 58% vs. 52%, p = 0.30), and Charlson comorbidity index (4.0 vs. 3.0, p = 0.26) were not different in AF vs. SR. Median follow-up duration was 2.6 (IQR: 1.0-4.4) years. The 1-year rate of aortic valve replacement (AVR) was not different (AF: 32% vs. SR: 37%, p = 0.31). All-cause mortality was higher in AF [hazard ratio (HR): 1.68 (1.13-2.50), p = 0.009]. Independent predictors of mortality were age [HR: 1.92 (1.40-2.62), p < 0.001], Charlson comorbidity index [1.09 (1.03-1.15), p = 0.002], aortic valve peak velocity [HR: 1.87 (1.20-2.94), p = 0.006], stroke volume index [HR: 0.75 (0.60-0.93), p = 0.01], moderate or more mitral regurgitation [HR: 2.97 (1.43-6.19), p = 0.004], right ventricular systolic dysfunction [HR: 2.39 (1.29-4.43), p = 0.006], and time-dependent AVR [HR: 0.36 (0.19-0.65), p = 0.0008]. There was no significant interaction of AVR and rhythm (p = 0.57). Conclusions: Lower forward flow, right ventricular systolic dysfunction, and mitral regurgitation identified increased risk of subsequent mortality in asymptomatic patients with AF and AS. Additional studies of risk stratification of asymptomatic AS in AF vs. SR are needed.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Previous cardiac surgery is an increasingly common etiology of constrictive pericarditis, but there is a paucity of data on clinical presentation and outcome of surgical treatment. METHODS: We reviewed data of 263 patients who underwent pericardiectomy for postoperative constriction from January 1, 1993, through July 1, 2017. Outcomes of interest were early and late mortality, as well as features of clinical presentation. RESULTS: Median patient age was 64 (56-72) years, and the median interval between previous operation and pericardiectomy was 2.7 years (range, 0-54 years). Previous operations included coronary artery bypass grafting in 114 (43%), valve surgery in 85 (32%), combined coronary artery bypass grafting and valve surgery in 33 (13%), and other procedures in 31 (12%). Common presentations were symptoms of right heart failure in 221 (84%) or dyspnea in 42 (16%). Moderate-to-severe tricuspid valve regurgitation was present in 108 (41%) patients. There were 14 (5.5%) deaths within 30 days postoperatively, and survival at 5 and 10 years postoperatively was 61% and 44%. On multivariate analysis, older age (P = .013), diabetes (P = .019), and nonelective pericardiectomy within 2 years of cardiac surgery (P < .001) were associated with decreased long-term survival. CONCLUSIONS: Pericardial constriction after cardiac surgery can present at any interval postoperatively. Symptoms and signs of right heart failure in patients with previous cardiac surgery should alert physicians to the possibility of pericardial constriction followed by a correct diagnosis. Pericardiectomy performed urgently following cardiac operation has poor long-term outcomes.

RESUMO

Bioprosthetic valve thrombosis is associated with accelerated bioprosthesis degeneration and valve re-replacement. Whether 3-month warfarin use after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) protects against such consequences is unknown. We aimed to investigate if 3-month warfarin treatment after TAVI is associated with better outcomes than dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) at medium-term follow-up. Adults who underwent TAVI were identified retrospectively (n = 1,501) and classified into warfarin, DAPT, and SAPT groups based on antithrombotic regimen received. Patients with atrial fibrillation were excluded. Outcomes and valve hemodynamics were compared between the groups. Annualized change from baseline in mean gradients and effective orifice area at last follow-up echocardiography was calculated. Overall, 844 patients were included (mean age: 80 ± 9 years, 43% women; 633 receiving warfarin, 164 DAPT, and 47 SAPT). Median time to follow-up was 2.5 (interquartile range 1.2 to 3.9) years. There were no differences in the adjusted outcome end points of ischemic stroke, death, valve re-replacement/intervention, structural valve degeneration, or their composite end point at follow-up. Annualized change in aortic valve area was significantly higher in DAPT (-0.11 [0.19] cm2/year) than warfarin (-0.06 [0.25] cm2/y, p = 0.03), but annualized change in mean gradients was not different (p >0.05). In conclusion, antithrombotic regimen, including warfarin, after TAVI was associated with marginally lower decrease in aortic valve area but no difference in medium-term clinical outcomes compared with DAPT and SAPT.

RESUMO

Objective: Concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and pericardiectomy (PC) can be a technically challenging operation. We sought to study the outcomes of patients undergoing concomitant PC and CABG. Methods: Between July 1983 and August 2016, 70 patients (median age, 67 years; 88% males) underwent concomitant PC and CABG (PC + CABG group). Multivariable analysis was used to identify predictors of mortality. Matched patients who underwent isolated PC (PC group) were identified, and postoperative outcomes and long-term survival in the 2 groups were compared. Results: Compared with the PC group, cardiopulmonary bypass time was significantly longer in the PC + CABG group (82 minutes vs 61 minutes; P < .001). In-hospital mortality was 4% in the PC group and 7% in the PC + CABG group (P = .380). Multivariable analysis identified peripheral vascular disease (hazard ratio [HR], 2.67; 95% CI, 1.06-6.76; P = .04) as a predictor of increased morbidity or mortality and a borderline association with New York Heart Association functional classes III and IV (HR, 2.41; 95% CI, 0.99-5.86; P = .05) with increased morbidity and mortality in the PC + CABG group. Kaplan-Meier estimates demonstrated similar late mortality rates in the 2 groups at a 15-year follow-up (P = .700). Conclusions: Concomitant PC and CABG is not associated with increased morbidity or mortality compared with isolated PC. Thus, CABG should not be denied at the time of PC.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Atrioventricular block requiring permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation is an important complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Application of machine learning could potentially be used to predict pre-procedural risk for PPM. AIM: To apply machine learning to be used to predict pre-procedural risk for PPM. METHODS: A retrospective study of 1200 patients who underwent TAVR (January 2014-December 2017) was performed. 964 patients without prior PPM were included for a 30-d analysis and 657 patients without PPM requirement through 30 d were included for a 1-year analysis. After the exclusion of variables with near-zero variance or ≥ 50% missing data, 167 variables were included in the random forest gradient boosting algorithm (GBM) optimized using 5-fold cross-validations repeated 10 times. The receiver operator curve (ROC) for the GBM model and PPM risk score models were calculated to predict the risk of PPM at 30 d and 1 year. RESULTS: Of 964 patients included in the 30-d analysis without prior PPM, 19.6% required PPM post-TAVR. The mean age of patients was 80.9 ± 8.7 years. 42.1 % were female. Of 657 patients included in the 1-year analysis, the mean age of the patients was 80.7 ± 8.2. Of those, 42.6% of patients were female and 26.7% required PPM at 1-year post-TAVR. The area under ROC to predict 30-d and 1-year risk of PPM for the GBM model (0.66 and 0.72) was superior to that of the PPM risk score (0.55 and 0.54) with a P value < 0.001. CONCLUSION: The GBM model has good discrimination and calibration in identifying patients at high risk of PPM post-TAVR.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Obesity has been associated with an increased risk of vascular complication during percutaneous coronary intervention, but there are no data on the risk of vascular complication during percutaneous transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve insertion (TAVI). OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized there would be a similar increased risk associated with TAVI. METHODS: We reviewed the records of 1176 patients who received percutaneous transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve insertion from September 2015 to September 2020. All patients received 1) preoperative computed tomoraphy angiography assessment of the abdomen and pelvis to delineate iliofemoral artery anatomy, 2) ultrasound-guided percutaneous femoral arterial access, and 3) pre-closure of the delivery sheath femoral access site. Vascular complication was recorded based on definitions set forth by Valve Academic Research Consortium 3. RESULTS: The median age of patients was 81 years, and 60% were men. The median body mass index (BMI) was 29 kg/m2 (range, 11-67), and 91 (8%) patients had a value ≥40 kg/m2 (i.e., morbid obesity). Delivery sheath size was 14-French in 859 (73%) patients, 16-French in 311 (26%), and 18-French in 6 (1%). Vascular complication occurred in 53 (5%) patients, including 39 (7%) among the first half of procedures and 14 (2%) among the second half (p < 0.001). When stratified by obesity status (BMI < or ≥30 kg/m2 , p < 0.001), the complication rate was 4% in nonobese patients and 5% in obese patients. Multivariable analysis showed no overall association between risk of vascular complication and BMI categories (p = 0.583)BMI continuous values (p = 0.529), or sheath size (p = 0.217). CONCLUSIONS: Obesity is not associated with a vascular complication during percutaneous transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve insertion. The operation should not be denied in obese patients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Delayed sternal closure (DSC) after cardiac surgery is a temporizing measure to address coagulopathy or haemodynamic instability after cardiac surgery. We sought to study: (i) indications and temporal trends for DSC, (ii) factors associated with time to chest closure and (iii) its impact on short-term and long-term outcomes. METHODS: From January 2007 to December 2017, 494 patients (median age 67 years, 66% males) required DSC after cardiac surgery. Medical records were reviewed for indications, risk factors, time to DSC and outcomes. Multivariable Cox regression via landmark analysis of 486 5-day survivors was used to investigate the impact of time to chest closure on early and late survival. RESULTS: Coagulopathy and haemodynamic instability were the most common indications. Median time to chest closure was 2 days. Pre-/intraoperative extracorporeal membranous oxygenation, severe right ventricular dysfunction and diabetes mellitus were associated with longer time to chest closure. Longer time to closure was associated with increased risk of operative complications and operative mortality, but did not have a statistically significant association with late mortality. Increasing age, pulmonary hypertension and a greater number of prior sternotomies were also found to be associated with overall mortality. CONCLUSIONS: While longer time to chest closure was associated with increased rates of operative complications and operative mortality, it did not reveal a statistically significant association with long-term survival.
