Long-term survival, valve durability, and reoperation for 4 aortic root procedures combined with ascending aorta replacement

Abstract Objective To evaluate long-term results of aortic root procedures combined with ascending aorta replacement for aneurysms, using 4 surgical strategies. Methods From January 1995 to January 2011, 957 patients underwent 1 of 4 aortic root procedures: valve preservation (remodeling or modified...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Objective To evaluate long-term results of aortic root procedures combined with ascending aorta replacement for aneurysms, using 4 surgical strategies. Methods From January 1995 to January 2011, 957 patients underwent 1 of 4 aortic root procedures: valve preservation (remodeling or modified reimplantation, n = 261); composite biologic graft (n = 297); composite mechanical graft (n = 156); or allograft root (n = 243). Results Seven deaths occurred (0.73%), none after valve-preserving procedures, and 13 strokes (1.4%). Composite grafts exhibited higher gradients than allografts or valve preservation, but the latter 2 exhibited more aortic regurgitation (2.7% biologic and 0% mechanical composite grafts vs 24% valve-preserving and 19% allografts at 10 years). Within 2 to 5 years, valve preservation exhibited the least left ventricular hypertrophy, allograft replacement the greatest; however, valve preservation had the highest early risk of reoperation, allograft replacement the lowest. Patients receiving allografts had the highest risk of late reoperation ( P
