Summary

Combined valve surgery and myocardial revascularization had high early mortality but offered good long-term outcomes for rheumatic heart disease patients. Survivors improved significantly, with no late deaths reported.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Cardiac Valve Disease
  • Myocardial Revascularization

Background:

  • Rheumatic heart disease frequently necessitates complex cardiac interventions.
  • Combined valve procedures and myocardial revascularization are challenging surgical undertakings.
  • Previous cardiac surgery was noted in a subset of patients, indicating complex patient profiles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the early and late outcomes of combined multiple valve procedures and myocardial revascularization.
  • To identify factors associated with early mortality in this patient cohort.
  • To assess the long-term benefits and complications of these combined procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 21 consecutive patients undergoing combined procedures between 1978 and 1988.

  • Detailed review of surgical techniques, including cardioplegia methods and graft numbers.
  • Assessment of perioperative data, early complications, and long-term follow-up including New York Heart Association (NYHA) class and angina status.

    • Main Results:

    • Five early deaths occurred, primarily due to low cardiac output, associated with longer perfusion times and higher blood loss.
    • No preoperative predictors of early mortality were identified.
    • Survivors demonstrated significant long-term improvement, with all reaching NYHA Class 1 and remaining angina-free; no late deaths were recorded.

    Conclusions:

    • Combined multiple valve procedures and myocardial revascularization are associated with significant early mortality.
    • Despite early risks, these complex procedures yield satisfactory long-term outcomes for patients with rheumatic heart disease.
    • Careful patient selection and surgical management are crucial for optimizing results in these high-risk patients.
