Aortic valve replacement (AVR) using smaller CarboMedics valves in small aortic roots (SAR) shows comparable outcomes to larger valves. This study confirms the efficacy of these prostheses in challenging AVR cases.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Aortic valve replacement (AVR) in small aortic roots (SAR) presents significant surgical challenges.
  • Outcomes for smaller prosthetic valves in SAR have historically been uncertain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the surgical and clinical performance of 19 mm and 21 mm CarboMedics valves.
  • To assess valve-related morbidity and mortality over a six-year period in patients with SAR.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 361 patients undergoing AVR with CarboMedics valves (CPHV) between 1989 and 1995.
  • Patients were divided into Group A (19/21 mm CPHV) and Group B (≥23 mm CPHV).
  • Subgroups included isolated AVR and AVR with associated cardiac procedures.

Main Results:

  • Hospital mortality: 7.3% (Group A) vs. 4.9% (Group B).
  • Six-year cumulative survival rates were comparable across subgroups.
  • No significant differences in cardiac mortality; similar rates of thromboembolic events, hemorrhage, and leakage between groups.

Conclusions:

  • The studied bileaflet prosthesis demonstrates high efficiency in patients with small aortic roots.
  • CPHV are effective for AVR, even in cases with associated cardiac procedures.
