Complex valvular repair for infectious aortic or mitral annular lesions is crucial. These advanced procedures, though complex, offer life-saving interventions and excellent long-term outcomes for patients with valvular endocarditis.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Cardiac Surgery

Background:

  • Valvular endocarditis can lead to severe infectious lesions in the aortic or mitral annulus.
  • Complex annular repair is sometimes necessary in addition to valvular replacement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of complex valvular repair in cases of infectious lesions of the aortic or mitral annulus.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 11,620 valvular replacement cases.
  • Identification of 59 cases requiring complex annular repair due to infectious lesions.
  • Categorization of repair techniques including patch closure, subcoronary, and supracoronary valved conduits.

Main Results:

  • Among 59 cases, complex repairs were performed for aortic or mitral annular infectious lesions.

  • Patch closure for aortic annular abscesses had low mortality and reintervention rates.
  • Valved conduit insertions showed variable outcomes, with a significant proportion of patients achieving good long-term results.

    • Conclusions:

    • Severe infectious lesions of the valvular rings necessitate complex, potentially life-saving repairs.
    • Advanced surgical techniques for annular reconstruction can yield excellent long-term results in selected patients.
