Infective Endocarditis Surgery Using Conventional Prosthetic Valves Versus Cryopreserved Aortic Homograft

Официальное название

Cryopreserved Aortic Homograft Versus Conventional Prosthetic Valves for Infective Endocarditis Involving the Aortic Valve : a Propensity Score Matched Analysis

Обзор

: Evidence suggested that autologous or allogeneic tissue is more suitable to synthetic material in an infected field. Given the unwillingness of some surgeons to use artificial foreign materials, such as conventional mechanical or stent xenograft valve prostheses, cryopreserved aortic homografts (CAH) have been recommended revealing favorable outcomes in aortic valve endocarditis (AVE) surgery (1-5). This aspect is even more evident in cases involving prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) and other complex and aggressive lesions involving the aortic root and intervalvular fibrosa with abscess formation. However, most of these reports are fixed on single-arm observational studies without comparing CAH with conventional prostheses. The key question of this study is to establish the difference in treatment failure (death, recurrent aortic valve regurgitation and reoperation), all-cause and cause-specific (cardiac vs noncardiac) mortality, hospitalizations for heart failure during follow-up (structural/non structural valve deterioration, thromboembolism and recurrent endocarditis) in patients who received the CAH vs conventional mechanical or stent xenograft valve prostheses for aortic valve replacement (AVR) secondary to infective endocarditis (IE)

Подробное описание

The target population enrolled in the study includes patients with aortic-valve endocarditis at risk of embolization, heart failure and uncontrolled infection undergoing AVR with the use of CAH or conventional mechanical or stent xenograft valve prostheses. Individuals were adequately treated per applicable standards, including for the treatment of infection, LV dysfunction and heart failure. Patients enrolled in the studies were NYHA functional class II, III, or outpatient NYHA IV.

Three groups of patients are included in the study. Patients who were managed with CAH, patients who received AVR with conventional stented xenograft and recipients of AVR undergoing surgery with the use of mechanical prostheses.

Вмешательства

• Процедура Cryopreserved Aortic Homograft
  CAH is used for aortic root reconstruction and for repair of mitro-aortic curtain (emicommando procedure) and it is inserted as miniroot . In cases of PVE the infected prosthesis is removed with aggressive debridement of all infected and necrotic tissue. (7)The coronary ostia are prepared for reconstruction of aortic root. In complex valve endocarditis involving aortic and mitral valve a double homograft may be used.Mitro-aortic endocarditis intervalvular fibrosa is largely involved.The abscess
• Процедура Stented/Non stented xenograft
  The insertion of stented/non stented xenograft may be performed using separate or continuos stich with or without teflon pledget. Biological valves may be implated alone or combined with polyester or pericardial patch when reconstruction of annulus is required. In cases of aggressive lesions requiring root and /or intervalvular fibrosa reconstruction the choice of prosthetic bioroot using bioprosthetic valve is considered acceptable alternatives to CAH although it should be guided by the surgeon
• Процедура Mechanical prostheses
  The insertion of conventional mechanical valves may be performed using separate or continuos stich with or without teflon pledget. Mechanical prostheses may be implated alone or combined with polyester or pericardial patch when reconstruction of annulus is required. In cases of aggressive lesions requiring root and /or intervalvular fibrosa reconstruction the choice of prosthetic valved conduit with a mechanical valve is considered acceptable alternatives to CAH although it should be guided by t
