Abstract:
Long-term results of valve repair for aortic regurgitation is not still clear. We investigated retrospectively our results of aortic valve repair for 244 patients. There were 2 operative death and 7 late cardiac death. Ten-year late survival rate was 84% and 10-year reoperation free rate was 74%.That of congenital group was 57%.However, 10-year reoperation rate was 87% for Type 1 group and 79% for Type 2 group. Recent technical evolution such as introduction of 4-dimensional computed tomography (CT) and intraoperative measurement of effective height may contribute improvement of repair technique. Further accumulation of evidence will promote earlier surgery for patients with aortic regurgitation.
