    Continuous suture technique for aortic valve replacement showed an 8.8% periprosthetic leak rate. This method is best for stenosis, while interrupted sutures are recommended for insufficiency to minimize leaks.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Prosthetic Valve Implantation

    Background:

    • Periprosthetic leak is a complication following aortic valve replacement.
    • Suture techniques can influence the incidence of periprosthetic leak.
    • Continuous suture techniques may offer advantages in reducing surgical time.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the incidence of periprosthetic leak using a continuous suture technique in aortic valve replacement.
    • To compare the outcomes of continuous versus interrupted suture techniques based on valve pathology (stenosis vs. insufficiency).

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 80 patients undergoing aortic valve replacement.
    • Utilized a continuous suture technique for the primary cohort.

  • Compared periprosthetic leak rates between patients with pure stenosis and pure insufficiency.

    • Main Results:

    • An overall periprosthetic leak rate of 8.8% was observed with the continuous suture technique.
    • A significantly higher leak rate (26%) was found in patients with pure aortic insufficiency compared to stenosis.
    • Continuous suture technique significantly reduced cross-clamp and bypass times.

    Conclusions:

    • Continuous suture technique is effective in reducing operative time for aortic valve replacement, particularly in stenotic lesions.
    • For pure aortic insufficiency, careful consideration of suture technique is warranted, with interrupted sutures potentially preferred if risk factors are present.
    • The choice of suture technique should be individualized based on the specific valve pathology to minimize periprosthetic leak.
