Concomitant aortic valve replacement and myocardial revascularization

J M Craver, E L Jones, C R Hatcher

    Annals of Surgery
    |June 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Combined aortic valve replacement and myocardial revascularization improved patient outcomes, with 70% achieving Class I or II post-surgery. Early intervention and isolated lesions yielded the best results, demonstrating feasibility even in older patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Cardiac Surgery
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Combined aortic valve replacement and myocardial revascularization addresses complex cardiac conditions.
    • Patient selection and surgical technique significantly influence outcomes in these procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of combined aortic valve replacement and myocardial revascularization.
    • To identify factors associated with successful surgical outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 26 consecutive patients undergoing combined procedures.
    • Varied intraoperative myocardial preservation and technical approaches were employed.

    Main Results:

    • Operative mortality was 8% (2 deaths); late mortality was 4 deaths (all preoperative Class IV).

  • Postoperative functional class improved significantly, with 70% achieving Class I or II.
  • Intraoperative infarction rate decreased from 27% to 7% over the study period.

    • Conclusions:

    • Combined aortic valve replacement and myocardial revascularization can yield excellent results, even in elderly patients with associated cardiac lesions.
    • Early presentation with isolated proximal coronary lesions and good distal vessels correlated with the best outcomes.
    • Long-standing heart failure and poor distal vessels were associated with poorer results.
