Aortic root enlargement in patients undergoing double valve replacement for rheumatic etiology–preliminary results

Abstract: Introduction Combined aortic and mitral valve disease is usually of rheumatic origin. In these patients we often encounter problem of small valve annuli particularly with aortic annulus. It is still debated whether a small prosthesis should be used or aortic root should be enlarged to prevent Patient Prosthesis Mismatch (PPM). This study was undertaken to review our strategy and feasibility of Aortic Root Enlargement (ARE) in patient undergo Double Valve Replacement (DVR) to avoid mismatch without increase in … Show more

“…Most of the patients also have tricuspid valve disease, atrial fibrillation, and severe LV dysfunction that add risk factors on hemodynamics if ARE is not performed. So, there still is debate as to whether small prosthesis implants or ARE avoid increasing morbidity or mortality [Muppiri 2011]. In our study, preoperative risk factors were not obstacles to perform ARE, however, these factors may be worse with PPM.…”
