RESUMO

An increasing body of research indicates that annular stability plays a key role for a successful aortic valve repair. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare a novel open aortic annuloplasty ring (the A-ring) with the Dacron ring. Both rings were compared with native aortic roots in vitro. Eighteen aortic roots were included in the study and randomized into three groups: the native, Dacron, and A-ring group. The roots were evaluated in an in vitro physiologic pulsatile model simulating the left side of the heart. Aortic annulus diameters were significantly reduced both in the Dacron ring group (p = 0.003) and the A-ring group (p = 0.020) when compared with the native group. Both the Dacron ring and A-ring effectively downsized the aortic annulus diameter. The A-ring also displayed an ability to maintain aortic root distensibility during the cardiac cycle equally to the Dacron ring.

RESUMO

Previous studies have demonstrated superior patency of no-touch as compared to conventional saphenous vein grafts in coronary artery bypass grafting. We aimed to compare mid-term clinical outcomes of both techniques in a large cohort of routine patients. We identified all patients undergoing nonemergent primary coronary artery bypass grafting with either no-touch or conventional saphenous vein grafts at our institution between 2000 and 2020. Propensity score matching was used to create adjusted cohorts based on 5288 eligible patients. The primary outcome was the combined endpoint of all-cause mortality and repeat revascularization. Secondary outcomes were individual rates of all-cause mortality and repeat revascularization, surgical complications, and short-term mortality. Propensity score matching resulted in cohorts of no-touch (n = 923) and conventional (n = 923) saphenous vein grafted patients with comparable baseline characteristics. Mean follow-up time was significantly shorter for the no-touch compared to the conventional cohort (4.9 ± 2.3 vs 8.3 ± 2.6 years, P < 0.001). Up to 7-year follow-up, neither the rate of the primary composite endpoint nor death differed significantly between the cohorts. The rate of repeat revascularization was significantly higher in patients in the no-touch cohort (12.9% vs 9.3% at 7-year follow-up, P = 0.022. Post-hoc analysis of percutaneous coronary intervention during follow-up revealed comparable rates of saphenous vein graft failure (no-touch 42/923 (4.6%) vs conventional 32/923 (3.5%), P = 0.286). In this large propensity score matched registry study, coronary artery bypass with no-touch compared to conventional saphenous vein grafting did neither enhance mid-term survival nor reduce the rate of repeat revascularization.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To describe the occurrence of significant pericardial effusion, and to investigate characteristics associated with pericardial effusion within three months following heart valve surgery. METHODS: A retrospective, observational cohort study including adult patients undergoing heart valve surgery at Odense University Hospital from August 2013 to November 2017. Data were gathered from The Western Denmark Heart Registry and electronic patient records.Cox proportional hazard models were used to investigate the associations between characteristics associated with significant pericardial effusion during index admission and within 3 months. Results are presented as HR with 95% CI. RESULTS: In total, 1460 patients were included (70% men, median age 71 years (IQR 63-76)) and of those, n=230 patients (16%) developed significant pericardial effusion.EuroScore II was significantly associated with an increased risk of pericardial effusion during index admission and associated with a lower risk following discharge (index admission HR 1.05, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.08, after discharge HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.69 to 0.92). Increasing age (HR 0.97, 95% CI 0.95 to 0.98 per year) and concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting versus isolated valve surgery (HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.35 to 0.97) were significantly associated with a reduced risk of pericardial effusions in both periods. Being a man (HR 2.30, 95% CI 1.32 to 4.01) and aortic valve disease versus mitral valve disease (HR 2.16, 95% CI 1.20 to 3.90) were significantly associated with an increased risk after discharge. CONCLUSION: Significant pericardial effusions requiring drainage were present in 16% of cases following heart valve surgery, and different clinical characteristics were associated with the development of effusion.

RESUMO

Objectives: The objective was to assess differences in healthcare costs within 180 days after discharge from open heart valve surgery in an intervention group receiving early, individualised and intensified follow-up compared with a historical control group. Methods: A cost-minimisation analysis comparing costs from a consecutive prospective cohort compared with a propensity matched cohort. Costs related to the intervention, hospital (outpatient visits and readmissions) and general practitioners (all contacts) were included. Data were obtained from electronic patient records and registry data. A logistic propensity model was used to identify the historical control group. Main results are presented as mean differences and 95% CIs based on bootstrapping. Results: After matching, the analysis included 300 patients from the intervention group and 580 controls. The mean intervention cost was €171 (SD 79) per patient. After 180 days, the mean healthcare costs were €1284 (SD 2567) for the intervention group and €2077 (SD 4773) for the controls. The cost of the intervention group was €793 (p<0.001) less per patient. The cost differences were explained mainly by fewer readmissions, fewer overall emergency visits and fewer contacts to the general practitioner during out-of-hours in the intervention group. Conclusions: The intervention consisting of early, individualised and intensified follow-up after open heart valve surgery significantly reduced the healthcare costs within 180 days after discharge.
