Aortic valve replacement via full sternotomy is the gold standard surgical therapy for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and insufficiency.1 This procedure has proved to be reliable, reproducible, relieves symptoms and improves prognosis of the patients. Degenerative AS is the most frequently acquired valve disease in the elderly population. In the current era, aortic valve surgery is the… View more

Concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD) and valvular heart disease is a common problem in the ageing population. It is estimated that the prevalence of mitral regurgitation and aortic stenosis in individuals over the age of 70 is 10 % and 4 %, respectively.1,2 Among patients presenting with symptomatic aortic stenosis, concurrent CAD occurs in over 50 % of those over 70 years of age and over 65… View more

Reconstructive valve surgery encompasses a comprehensive system of valve analysis and related techniques based on three basic principles as described by Alain Carpentier and colleagues: restoring or preserving the full mobility of the leaflets, creating a large surface of leaflet coaptation and remodelling the annulus to provide an optimal and stable orifice area.1 Mitral valve regurgitation (MR)… View more

In contrast to aortic or mitral diseases, there has been far less discussion on indications for tricuspid valve repair or replacement. Despite the fact that tricuspid regurgitation (TR) can result in significant symptoms, it remains undertreated. Patients are rarely referred for isolated surgical repair, or replacement, and most surgeries are performed in the context of other planned cardiac… View more

Surgical Approaches to Aortic Valve Replacement and Repair
Author(s): Basel Ramlawi , Mahesh Ramchandani , Michael J Reardon Added: 3 years ago
Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis or insufficiency have no effective medical treatments and carry a dismal prognosis if left untreated. Since the first aortic valve replacement in 1960, hundreds of thousands of lives have been saved and improved by this procedure. Until recently, surgical aortic valve replacement (sAVR) was the only effective therapy for severe aortic valve stenosis. The recent… View more
