Human homografts and autografts are excellent aortic valve substitutes. Young patients with rheumatic heart disease undergoing the Ross procedure face higher risks of aortic regurgitation.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Cardiac Valve Replacement

Background:

  • Homografts and autografts are established options for aortic valve replacement.
  • Evaluating outcomes of human biological substitutes is crucial for surgical decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the results of aortic valve replacement using homografts and autografts over a 5-year period.
  • To assess the efficacy and complications associated with these biological valve substitutes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 189 patients undergoing aortic valve replacement with homografts or the Ross procedure.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, etiology, surgical techniques, mortality, and postoperative regurgitation.

Main Results:

  • Operative mortality was 7.4% and late mortality was 5.3%.
  • Trivial to mild aortic regurgitation was observed in over 90% of patients in both groups.
  • Moderate to severe regurgitation occurred in 10.3% of Ross procedure patients, primarily young individuals with rheumatic heart disease.

Conclusions:

  • Homografts and autografts serve as excellent aortic valve substitutes.
  • Young age (<30 years) and rheumatic etiology are significant risk factors for progressive aortic regurgitation after the Ross procedure.
